Like most everyone else, I too use an electric oven. In my experience with case coloring, the vivid yellows and reds are usually the result of adding items like leather and antler charcoal to the matrix. When I use only a bone and wood charcoal mixture, my colors reliably turn out like those on this GHE 20. (the owner had restocked and blued it, so originality wasn't much of an issue) My colors don't likely pass for an accurate reproduction of the original pre-Remington Parker colors, but the owner was pleased with how the new colors looked along side the new wood and bluing.
