Help with bakelit colors-thanks!

[vernon1959]

So anyhow the necklace looks like (to me at least) to have been restrung from 2 differnet color beads. They're green and a brownish yellow. Marbled spinach and marbled mustard, if there is such a thing??

The watch is a golden brown??

Any help with the "correct" color names would be greatly appreciated!

Here's a list of Bakelite colors and descriptions. http://www.plasticfantastic.com/glossary.html#color

The graduated sizes on the bead  necklace look too well matched to me to be a combining of two necklaces.

The two beads look like olives and peas--don't know which bakelite colors those would be.

My instant reaction is pea soup for the beads and bananas foster for the watch band.

Oh dear so many food choices

At this point I don't think it really matters. I seached "graduated bead bakelite necklace" and 80% were just plastic,  listed under vintage plastics/bakelite!

The watch would be called "Mississippi Mud" which is a specialty marbled finish.

" marbled Pea Soup"  would work for the beads.

And bakelite would never be referred to as "plastic".  Plastic has seams and is much lighter and "brittle" looking.

Bakelite is an early plastic and listing it in the Vintage Plastics category would be correct. That is where Bakelite jewelry buyers would expect to find it.

Just because it doesn't have mold seams like modern machine-injected plastics doesn't mean it isn't considered a plastic.
