Black polish gives a strong, dark tone
Clear sounds colorless--leave it alone
Get a fat, ripe tone from Passionate Peach
Careful with Silver--it can screech
For classical sound: Venetian White
And Lemon makes tone-color bright
For the cutting edge, choose Vivid Lime
Bronze Bombshell helps you beat the time
For resonant warmth, use rosy hues
You can guess what helps you play the blues
