You need better lighting so that the color shows properly. You want direct sunlight when you enter the house so that you can see the color fully. There is no way to control this; you just have to keep entering and exiting the house until you get the lighting scenario that you want. I've found that going to different houses, waiting a few minutes, and/or restarting your game all help to get the best lighting scenario.

The lighting scenario you want is the one that @SlowJRNalist has in his picture a couple of posts up.

Oh. I see! Hopefully this is a bit better!

While Madarax does that color, I thought I'd stop by with Ultrasonic Blue 2.0 for Lexus (8X1)

i have a request if it’s not a problem and even allowed. The silver from the 2Fast Skyline, I remember it’s a House Of Kolor color but I can’t remember the exact paint code. Platinum Pearl is the name. Thank you :)

Good afternoon to all!! Hope everyone is doing great! I decided to try my hand at a color that is special to me, so I'm hoping y'all vibe with it. Porsche's Frozen Berry Metallic

What color values are these? Specifically, are the numbers for each value on the Left or Right version for each number?
It's included with the picture - but in case you didn't see it:

Lexus - Hypersonic Blue Mica 2.0 - X: 0.70R, 1.00R, 0.51R - Y: 0.64R, 0.90R, 0.77R.

I could’ve sworn this was on the chart already.
It isn't. You were probably thinking of Frozen Blue Metallic, but there's no Frozen Berry Metallic.

From what I was copying, I believe I was using K7X as what I was intending to do which is probably what it would have have been.

Speaking of, did you also spot my Atlantis Blue BMW (paint code 207)? (it probably got buried)

Quick edit: Also, my inquiry about McLaren's Vermillion Red with the possible reason behind a metal flake and a normal.
I did spot your attempt at Atlantis Blue. It did seem to be leaning more towards the purple side, which can be a problem when working with any deep blue. Anything that's around 0.67 is probably as far as I would go regarding the hue, so I'd usually go a bit lower to 0.65 (or even just 0.66) and sometimes apply more saturation.
Regarding your query on Vermillion Red, McLaren's official colour has a metallic finish, while the gloss version seems to have come from MSO.

Koenigsegg 'Moon Grey'

If anyone wants to correct it, please do by all means.
I'll redo this one when I can. Back when I did the vast majority of Koenigsegg colours, they all came from a configurator; they weren't from a real example of any of their cars. Having a bit of a guide now, I'll have a dig around and see if I can find examples of the colours I did and redo them. It's probably going to take a while for me to do, but I'm hoping I can get them done sometime towards the end of this year or the start of next year.

I’d like to request another thing - I’d like to know what color AMG uses on their bronze Carbon Ceramics, and also what Nissan uses on the (R35) GTR’s Brembos. I did a little research and found Honda YR532M is pretty much identical to what Nissan uses. I couldn’t find anything about the AMG calipers though.

I actually was going to do the color :) I believe it has another name though as well. I’ll have to do more research.
Hey, can you remake this color? It is

I did this one just over two years ago and is in the spreadsheet. While it can be found in this post, I don't think it is 100% accurate or close to being relatively accurate; it needs a redo. Mind you, Millenium Jade is just one of many colours that can be hard to recreate in Forza - or any racing game in general.

So I’ve been looking at the Dodge color Smoke Show, and on the chart it’s listed as a metal flake paint but it’s actually just a solid gloss color. I’ll be fixing that. I’ve also just added the Dodge color Triple Nickel and the Mitsubishi color Red Diamond Metallic to the chart :)
