I was going to suggest trying some from a luthier supply, like http:// www.internationalviolin.com or http://www.howardcore.com or http:// www.internationalluthiers.com Stewart McDonald may also carry it (http://www.stewmac.com) Even the "Liquid Hide Glue" has more of a brown honey color to it. I don't use a lot of hide glue, but mine has always had a browner tint. Humidity is pretty high here, so there's probably the explanation. There's some very old glue here that's been in the shop since I was probably in the 2nd grade. It has a pretty strong odor and is darker brown, but holds very well.
