Dark Green And Dark:
When you match or mix your pattern, if their main colors are complementary they will work well together - if they are lightened or darkened in tone, and used in unequal amounts. Common examples of complementary colors that contrast successfully are rust red with dark green and dark blue with orange.The standard dark mink is, in reality, a mutation developed by crossing and selective breeding of the various geographical "races" of wild mink for the dark color. Dark mink usually are the same color over the entire body surface, but there is a greater concentration of pigment in some areas. As a result, the head, tail, and feet appear darker, and there is a dark dorsal stripe (also known as the "grutzen") extending down the back from head to tail. The eyes, nose, and claws are dark brown. Frequently there are white markings on the belly, chin, throat, and breast. The standard dark mink is the norm to which all mutations may be compared, and from which the other color phases have been developed.
