Thanks.

I'm eating cucumbers from my garden and I studied a few attempting to decide
which green you are searching for as the cucumbers are variegated green. I
also grow white cucumbers!

I you want a very specific color, start with a reliable transparent glaze
and add a stain in the color that closely matches your search.

Here's a link to the Mason Color green stains:

You didn't mention what part of the cucumber -- skin or fruit???

I have a lovely C6 dark green gloss on my web page at:

Just scroll down the page and hit the links for the cone 6 recipe and test
tile photo pages.

There's also a lovely high calcium matt light green if that's the color
you're looking for.
