Colors

[Faramir]

Hey,

I've been trying make some decals lately but I've been having a lot of trouble with getting the colors to match perfectly (Especially dark green, anyone who can get me a perfect dark green gets a cookie.) Even when I put my printer on maximum DPI it comes out wrong! As I am still sort of new here, I was just wondering... do we have some sort of color index for customization? This would be pretty helpful for making decals in general. If so, could someone please show me?

Thanks,

Faramir

IT depends what program are you using? No matter what the easiest thing to do is make a circle with one dark green change it to darker/lighter and make that a circle and keep doing that and then print it out and pick which one looks the closest. :-)

I'm using MS Paint. I guess I could try doing that, but I don't think I have the time or patience to do that. I guess I could, but if someone has a dark green that they use regularly that would be a big help.

Here you can find a useful Color Chart. Hope this helps a bit .

On a side note, I was never able to match a perfect Dark-green, either .

No clue if it's a dead perfect match or not, but here is what I use for dark green.

I should thank you: looking for the page to link, I noticed the chart was missing, and so I could replace it

Thanks! You are making excellent use of those fellow powers

Unfortunately, That dark green was the same one I was using ! Must be my printer, I guess I'll have to try myself getting the right complexion. Still, thanks for helping.

Thank you . I happened to be the first one to notice that, and to have the right file to fix it

Very nice job!

In order to prevent an accident like that from happening again, I've created a new colour chart topic, as well as a new, more complete, chart. If you'd like to post the one you have in that thread as well, please feel free. Should be able to maintain it a little better there.

Thanks again!

No need to post the old one again, I guess. Yours is way more complete

Thanks for the patience and effort you put in this
