Colour Density for Dropouts

Recommendations for a transparent sky blue apart from sky blue for a drop out so I need high saturation?

Keep in mind that the colours wash out more at the shoulder of a drop out as it thins. To obtain a more even colour throughout the length of the drop the colour should graduate from the most dense at the shoulder to paler at the centre of the drop.

One way to achieve this is to use more layers of the same colour toward the shoulder. Another is to use a combination of overlapping shades of the same colour family with the most dense at the shoulder.

This might be achieved by cutting overlapping rings of colour, or crescents of the colours arranged in circles on the blank. These will give a banding of colour rather than a gradation in the final piece.
