Forza Horizon 4 - Colour Creation Database (CONSTANT WORK IN PROGRESS) *READ FIRST POST*

The Mini FE is bad for racing and driving: too slow to race anywhere, not very fun to drive, and the brakes are horrific!

How did you unlock it already?

How did you unlock it already?

It's 80 Points in the Playlist. It's not exactly a surprise to get it this week if you've maxed out the first week of the Series.

 

[PedroT]

Could someone please do the Frozen Portimao Blue from BMW? Images attached for reference. Thanks

At least they made it easier to get than the 1965 MINI HE from FH3. I was never able to get either MINI HE, the Silvia HE, the Huracan HE, or a couple of others. Around the time FH5 came out, I went back to FH3 to get the tuning, upgrade, and paint job info from all of the HEs that I did have so that I could replicate them in FH5. All of the tunes and liveries are shared in my Creative Hub if you want to look into that.

Well, if you guys want me to give feedback to the devs...

I think I may have found an issue with spreadsheet? Or maybe just with my eyes lol. Back when FH5 came out, I got my GR Supra and decided to paint it my favourite Toyota family colour which is Lexus' "Nori Green Pearl" and was very happy with the results. Well fast forward to a few days ago and I thought it would be cool paint my new 4Runner in Nori Green to match it and I discover that the colour values for it are now completely different. The new values produce a much darker, somewhat bronze-ish green that I'm not sure is right? You guys obviously have way more experience with this than I do so I figured I'd search the thread to see if someone had updated the colour but I found no mention of it other than when MadaraxUchiha created it back in early 2020.

I looked up Nori on google and most of the pictures I saw when a Nori car is outside in bright sunshine look more like the original rendition of the colour, at least to my eyes. Or maybe my monitor's calibration is off but I figured I'd at least ask for clarification if nothing else. I hope this doesn't come across as being critical at all, I love what you all have made here, whenever I get a new car I don't even bother with the liveries I just go straight to the spreadsheet. I know that "thank you" does get said a fair bit here but I'm not sure it's ever enough considering the spreadsheet is nearly 10,000 custom, handmade, colours strong.

I’m the one that changed it in the spreadsheet because I looked at the old version I had on the chart and looked at pictures of it on more vehicles and I came to the new values. Here are some pictures I looked at:

In fact, I have my Lexus RC-F painted Nori Green Pearl in game right now and it doesn’t look off to me :/

However, here are the old values:

Nori Green Pearl (Lexus)

Paint Type: Metal Flake

• Lowlight: 0.40 L, 0.36 R, 0.16 L
• Highlight: 0.18 L, 0.25 R, 0.49 L

 

[RomeoKiloLima]

Ok sounds good. I trust your judgment, thanks for clearing that up.

 

[RomeoKiloLima]

Actually you know what, I threw the newer version on another GR Supra and explored the map a bunch through a bunch of different lighting and I think you're right. The bright sunshine really pulls that almost golden sparkle out that's visible in those reference pictures. So I think you nailed it. I also upped the brightness on my screen, I think that may have been part of my problem lol.

I’m glad to hear you say that Either way, feel free to use either version, whatever suits your fancy I currently have the old version on my Lexus LFA and the new version on my Lexus RC-F

Hello, everyone. Thanks so much for the constant updates to the spreadsheet! It's been a really long time I've felt the need to request colors as a result, but that's why I'm back. I'd like to request Volcano Blue (McLaren) and Jet Black Metallic (Porsche). In the case of the latter, Jet Green Metallic is on the sheet, but Jet Black Metallic isn't. Could be an incorrectly labeled color, but I figured I'd request it just in case.

I’ll do Jet Black Metallic

 

[PedroT]

I’ll do Jet Black Metallic

Could you do Frozen Portimao Blue by BMW as well? Would be very much appreciated!

 

[MadaraxUchiha]

Honestly, the way to do that is take the values for Portimao Blue that are already on the chart, reverse the values highlight first and then base and then use the two-tone semigloss option.

Thank you very much will give it a try

Bugatti
Jet Orange (2022 Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+)

Ferrari
Viola Alhumaid

Jaguar
Spa Silver

Lamborghini
Arancio Oicleo (Even though this is a two-tone matte color, I did it as metallic because the two-tone matte version that I had lacked the vibrance of the real color; I was able to capture more of this vibrance with metallic paint.)
Verde Citrea

McLaren
1K Blue Carbon Fiber
1K Chocolate Carbon Fiber
Argentum Silver
Canepa Root Beer
Mira Orange

MINI
British Racing Green IV
MINI Yours Enigmatic Black

Toyota
Army Green (I had previously done this color, but I redid it a couple of weeks ago to be more accurate.)

 

[AytonSenna]

Hey, I'm amazed how this color chart has grown! I've also noticed that colors with pink or purple undertones are the hardest to make. I tried to make Magenta Sorbet by McLaren, a rare color in the pearly pink hue, but I couldn't, it seems to be something so difficult. Could anyone do?

hello everybody, i'm still very much enjoying the spreadsheet and use it all the time in horizon 5 i would like to request a color that i think was requested before but that doesn’t seem to be on the spreadsheet, it's called Inozetek Midnight Green and i hope my pictures are good enough to create it

 

[GTvsForza]

Been a while, but Tavarish finally finished his 675LT project. And with the 765LT coming to FH5, I thought this could be the opportunity to resurrect the Tempest Blue I requested long ago:

can't wait to finally drive my dreamcar the 765lt in fh5, tempest blue is a great color idea for it

 

[SlowJRNalist]

I tried to see if I can do (Acura) Kaiser Silver (NH546M) but I'm not 100% convinced doing it two-tone semi-gloss (at least, wheel wise) was the answer.

Do let me know what you think.

Note: I did use metal flake on the NSX.

I’ll do the color later Also, for the record, Kaiser Silver is a metal flake paint job

Edit: I just checked and it’s already on the chart but I’m not the one that did it originally. Is the one on the chart wrong or something…?

That's what I thought it was but I was reluctant because it looked a lot chromier for some reason.

I'll check on the 'Teg in a bit, but scratch mine for now. Thanks Madarax.

Edit: Oh my god, I'm an idiot XD

 

[Ty-Ahmaud]

Good evening to all of you! Hope everyone's doing alright! I tried my hand at Lamborghini's Giallo Corona (0069). Let me know your thoughts.

Metal flake
Lowlight:
0.13L 0.96R 0.98L
Highlight
0.14R 0.56R 0.97L

All this wizardry is sadly beyond me 😅 but I just wanted to post here in order to thank the relative newcomers who have recently been posting their efforts at creating new colours.

Personally, I appreciate every attempt. Even if sometimes it's not accurate first time, I feel it is a sign of a successful community here and is to be applauded 👍

Hello, can somebody do BMW Individual Scarab Green?

I’ll do it

 

[SlowJRNalist]

Well, I'd thought i'd have a crack at making Ford's Medium Canyon Red Metallic and to be honest, I have no idea if I'm doing it right.
