Castor is the dominate color but is very difficult. There is a lot of variation in the color even with "correct" color. There are lots of factors that go into the mix to make a good castor color like rufus modifiers, band width, and amount of tipping. Personally I like a heavier tipping with a wide, high rufus mid-band. That combo produces the perfect Castor color for me.
We are begining to get back into the Castor color as well as Opal and we hope to add Amber too.

New photo's and info coming soon.
