Chasing color for four months, the color difference on the single-strand Old Tree King is finally even. A few months ago, the strand had obvious color variation, with a big gap between light and dark beads, which looked awkward. After four months of color chasing, the color difference is finally even. Recording the process for reference by friends who are also chasing color.

Reasons for Color Difference

The reasons for color difference are the density of the beads and how they are played with. Different bead densities lead to different coloring speeds, creating a big gap between light and dark beads. Uneven playing means beads that are handled more color faster, and color difference appears. At the time, looking at the strand made me anxious, but color difference is a normal phenomenon, and color chasing is the method. Don't panic; follow the method, and you can bring it back.

The Process of Chasing Color

I persisted with the color-chasing process for four months. Play with the light-colored beads more, letting them contact more sweat and oil to bring the color up; brush the dark-colored beads more to press the color down and even out the whole strand. Color chasing requires patience; don't expect to even it out in a day or two—it took four months to see results. During the chase, keep playing and brushing even to avoid creating new color differences. Steady progress yields the best results.

Feelings After Evening Out the Color

After evening out the color, the strand looks better, and my mind is steadier. A strand with even color is pleasing to look at and gives a sense of achievement when playing with it. Four months of color chasing honed my patience and taught me the method. After four months of chasing color, the color difference on the single-strand Old Tree King is finally even. What became even is not just the color, but also the heart that plays with the strand. Persist in chasing color, and the strand will reward you.
