NATURAL GREEN, GREEN STUFF & MORE
Natural Green and our "Original Green Stuff" are a grass and vegetation colorant that was developed initially for the motion picture industry to enhance the background grass and other foliage during the shooting of color films. They provide dormant grass and other vegetation with a beautiful rich dark green color. This colorant is so life-like it has been used by the Rose Bowl during the playing of the Rose Bowl game and various Super Bowls, the Los Angeles Coliseum, Milwaukee Stadium, various movie studios including Walt Disney Studios, Universal Studios, and Burbank Studios plus various golf courses to enhance the fairways and greens during the playing of Professional Golf Association tour events. We also have a variety of special colors that have appeared in several motion pictures and television programs. Request our price list and other literature for more details on these colors.

Waxtones are a liquid version of the oil soluble powder dyes.
