Good morning, Dave~[/font]

Here is a list of Behr Premium Plus Ultra codes and color names for the Redheads and Ringnecks:[/font]
[font=Tahoma, sans-serif]
PPU2-3 Allure ~ Redhead Drake - head [/font]
[font=Tahoma, sans-serif]
PPU3-18 Artisan ~ Redhead Drake, Hen – head highlights[/font]
[font=Tahoma, sans-serif]
PPU5-2 Aging Barrel ~ Ringneck Hen - body[/font]
[font=Tahoma, sans-serif]
PPU5-4 Mocha Latte ~ Redhead Hen – body[/font]
[font=Tahoma, sans-serif]
PPU7-7 Riviera Beach ~ RH and RN Hens – sides, etc[/font]
[font=Tahoma, sans-serif]
PPU18-4 Dark Pewter ~ Bills on all (brighten with White as needed)
[/font]
[font=Tahoma, sans-serif]
PPU18-5 French Silver ~ Redhead speculum, RN drake sides[/font]
[font=Tahoma, sans-serif]
PPU18-14 Cathedral Gray ~ Redhead drake sides and back[/font]
[font=Tahoma, sans-serif]
PPU18-16 Elephant Skin ~ Redhead drake back[/font]
[font=Tahoma, sans-serif]
PPU18-19 Intellectual ~ Wings on all[/font]
[font=Tahoma, sans-serif]
As you can see, I like the PPU18 series. These can be used on many (most?) other species – so, good to have on hand in the shop – along with Black and White.[/font]

Although I painted a few burlapped Model 72 Redheads a year or so ago, I never did photograph them. Here are some live birds from a couple of springs ago. Obviously, the Drake's head can be done in any number of colors. They are a bit rosier than Canvasback heads – but I selected Allure to serve both species.[/font]

I painted these 72s as Ringnecks – then burlapped them and returned them to Broadbill status (not many Ringnecks up here). The backs on the Drakes can certainly be done with plain Black. I like “Intellectual” because it is very similar to herter's old Wing Gray.[/font]
Finally, anyone could get by with many fewer Greys - but @ $1.94.......

Hope this helps![/font]
