Ally,

I would use Fast Green FCF. It does not fade as much as Light Green. Use a 1% in 2% Acetic acid.
Tartrazine will give you a yellow colour.

Hi,

What is your preferred green counterstain for GMS?
In the kit I have, it suggests Fast Green FCF, Light Green SF Yellowish or Tartrazine.
Which should I buy?

Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
