Default Plating a Rochester, I have a question

Ok im cad plating a 4 bl. Rochester, glassbeaded the carb. blew it all out, slightly polished on a wire wheel, etched with mauratic acid dip and then plated, then dipped carb. into yellow cad solution, came out super ,BUTT, the carb. looks to yellow instead of a darker tan color. Im using no brightner, Carb. looks great ,you can see the blue,s and golds, and yellows, I want the carb. to look more of a tan color. QUESTION, am i trying to do this in the wrong manner?? Any input would be apprec. 6.0 amps perfect with 1.6 volts
for 25 min. temp at 90, so what do you think?? I will try and post a picture in the future.
