Nor Azzurro DinoStill no Rosso Dino.
I want Bleu Alpine too.Still hoping for my Bleu Alpine![]()
I somehow missed the Advan Racing TCIII wheels before.
Not sure if this helps mate but there's heaps of semi opaque decal options and overlaying these over the whole car can lighten or darken the base colour.Something I’m a little frustrated with is that most of not all of the “PD” paints in the mileage exchange are extremely vibrant, like they’ve chosen the maximum saturation and brightness available on their RGB scale, and then picked a few hues off the spectrum and then given them all different finishes they’ve created. There’s a few darks available, but absolutely no variation in saturation - nothing has a subtle, faded, or aged look.
I’m really hoping PD expands the types of paints in their pallet (amongst pretty much everything else in the exchange honestly...), and maybe bring back something like the “gunmetal” or “old generation” color profiles they had in GT5/6.

Always nice to see one of my pics featured in a GTP article. Thanks @Famine (also thanks to @SlipZtrEm for choosing the Nismo shot).
Some of the manufacturer paints can be replicated with the color picker. Paint something, say Rosso Scuderia, then go over to the color picker and it will show the HSV values for Rosso Scuderia. I think it only works on solid colors.Just wondering if some of the car colors could be replicated in a paint program if you know the paint code and uploaded as a decal into GTS. I could see them being pretty popular if this were possible. Maybe someone with more knowledge in this area could chime in.
You can recreate just about all manufacturer colors using the color picker and the 3 finishes: solid, metallic, pearlescent. Some have varying amounts of the metallic or pearl that make them difficult to get exact, not to mention the way the picker rounds some values off where you set them. But for the most part, totally doable even if you have to muck around with it for a while.Some of the manufacturer paints can be replicated with the color picker.

As @Famine or maybe @MatskiMonk have said somewhere, the "special colors" are just different finishes. You could recreate the color for the R1 specials in the color picker but you can't recreate the chrome, fluorescent or flake finish. You can get pretty close to matte and half matte now with the expanded decal finish options if you don't mind having it on all of your decals and not just the "paint".

They were available for me too and I've purchased every single wheel since launch. Are these new?
