Generally the lemon/yellow hen capes ones you see on sale are very "deep dyed" with intense colouration. So it may well be a matter of either a d.i.y . job or getting someone to dye one specially for you. Christina at FeatherBenders, Hackles for Fly Tying offer a custom dye service as well as supplying capes.

Cheers Arkle,
I think you're probably right about colour intensity & depth.
I'll try feather benders as you suggest, then again I might get a couple of white hen capes
& try experimenting with dyes myself. It's been a few years since I've dyed my own materials though . . . .

All the best,

Rudolf
