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

[MadaraxUchiha]

I’ve updated Porsche’s Acid Green on the chart as well

 

[TheTKaZ]

I added a couple of colors to the spreadsheet. @MadaraxUchiha, I've been working on Aurora Diamond Green Metallic, but I just cannot get it to come out right. I don't do this very often, but I think I'll let you see what you can do with it. I know you already did the color, but I think it was a long time ago. I checked your old values that I wrote down on Saturday in a previous post, and they produced a color that was almost black. I'd be interested to see you take a new attempt at this color, and hopefully we can close this case.

Fiat
Rosso Passione (redo; I originally did the color)

Maserati
Blu Passione

I did my take for aurora diamond green metallic and appreciate it if you guys could check it out. I dunno if there's a huge difference between colors in FH4 to FH5, I hope it's not too big (I'm on FH5)

Metal Flake
Low:
0,52L
1,00R
0,37L

High:
0,26L
0,55L
0,45L

There really isn’t much of a difference because all the colors I’ve used in Forza Horizon 4 and ported to 5 have looked the same. The same goes for the colors on the chart. Sometimes things need a slight upgrade but that’s it. I wish you would’ve provided some images to go with your values. I can’t check my system right now because I’m getting ready to leave.

Mercedes-Benz
Danakil Red - Any advice on what to look for in a good reference picture? I want to give this a go.

Porsche
Chalk ('21 911 GT3)

Edit: Porsche's Python Green - is it on the left tick or the right tick brightness wise? I noticed that it only says 0.49.

It’s a left click. Also, I’ll add both of these colors to the chart shortly

Edit: They’re on the chart now

Thanks Madarax but I was hoping I can learn to make Danakil Red myself. Oh well.

Well, I mean we’re the ones adding the colors to the chart so….

 

[GTvsForza]

I'm sure you can still try, he can just give you feedback on how close you are to his.

It’s a solid color and doesn’t need any changing or upgrading ¯\(ツ)/¯

I know, but I really wanted to try making it myself to be added after JaCor's feedback. But I'm not going to get worked up over it, there are always more colors

For solid colors, you want to pick your color where the car's paint is the bightest and most well captured. Solid colors are very simple for this reason, and they usually only require slight adjustment. The key is to find a decent reference image. Do that, and you're good to go.

So what do you look for in a decent reference image? Obviously, an outdoor lighted one, but is there more that I need to look at?

We don’t need more collaborators. I’ve already said this. You’re free to add your own personal colors to your own personal chart, but I and @JaCor653 and @Mitcho2001 really don’t need help doing this. We’ve already done 10,000+ colors. I think we’re good here.

 

[MadaraxUchiha]

Speaking of which…I’m in the process right now of adding 115 Mercedes/Porsche colors.

 

[JaCor653]

You've pretty much got it. You want to use images that have the car outside in direct sunlight, so that the paint is fully illuminated and shows the color optimally.

If @SlowJRNalist, @GTvsForza, or someone else does a color that appears to be accurate and well-made, and that is not in the spreadsheet, then I don't know why it shouldn't get added. Just because you, @Mitcho2001, and I are the main contributors to the spreadsheet doesn't mean that other people can't add in their own colors or ask that their own colors be added in. You were okay with the colors @PlumCrazy010 did until that Mercedes color came up. @ClydeYellow has also posted colors here which were good enough to add to the spreadsheet. That reminds me; he posted some colors a while back that need to be added to the spreadsheet. I should get on that. The point is, I don't think we should be denying people besides the three of us the ability to get their colors added to the spreadsheet. Imagine how much smaller this would be if @Mitcho2001 had done that to me, or if Mitcho and I had done that to you. Also, stop saying "we've already done 10,000+ colors" in every post. You are sounding like a broken record, and it is getting annoying to see you justify anything you say with that reason.

 

[GTvsForza]

I do replica colors, but they're Crayola. So, they wouldn't really fit in the spreadsheet

Ok, I’ve personally added thousands of colors myself and have contributed tons of my own personal time to this. Just like you and @Mitcho2001. Now I’m f*** pissed. I really don’t appreciate people trying to steal our thunder. You want to let others contribute, fine, go ahead. While we’re at it, let’s edit all of the f** colors I’ve personally done since someone always has to have some issue or has to have everything 100% accurate. I don’t care what’s getting annoying because my viewpoints are my own and I am not wrong with what I’m saying with the amount of colors we’ve done, and the amount of colors I’ve personally done. I am getting annoyed with people always questioning every ***** thing I do. You wanna contribute @SlowJRNalist? Go ahead. Have fun. You wanna tell me how I should think or feel or what I should say? Go ahead.

You’ve already publicly called me out @JaCor653 which is what you usually do and quite frankly I’m not going to sit here and be insulted. So you know what? **** this.

Well, you did those Mack colors. And you did those Hyundai colors a long time ago, but you were still getting familiar with this.

 

[GTvsForza]

Yeah, I'm just more comfortable with Solids. I want to get into the Metallic colors, but the two tone stuff is touchy.

 

[idsym]

Super Late thanks @JaCor653 for the revised Petrol Blue metallic. May I request 2 very rare Porsche colors from the 1980 911 SC Weissach package
Pongee Beige Metallic aka Platinum Metallic

 

[idsym]

Sorry I'll do the second color on this post.

This is the second Weissach SC color the Black Metallic.

You should go to Lugar Tranquilo on the East coast to do your painting work. The angle the car faces is better in terms of lighting. Your colors look pretty good, but I can't see them perfectly due to the shadows.

No worries. Here you go!

@MadaraxUchiha To be honest im with @JaCor653 on this one its a comunity spreadsheet if your worried about other people stealing thunder then its time to step away. Its a hobby not a job. We all get and appriciate the work that goes into this spreadsheet but as of the last few months you have consistantly snapped at people for either trying to help and partake or for asking questions. You have to realise that not everyone is you and thinks like you we are all different and for some people it maybe their first time seeing this spreadsheet. You really need to learn people skills because its starting to sound like your living in a basement with no social skills. Just try and be respectful to others all people are trying to do is offer suggestions or even ask questions and when they get a response the way you have it puts people off. Again thank you to everyone who continues to help make this spreadsheet amazing and what it is

 

[JaCor653]

@Ty-Ahmaud, I've looked at your two Porsche colors. For an initial attempt, they are pretty good, but I don't think they are spot-on enough to be added to the spreadsheet. For Radiumgrün, I think you should move the hue for both the lowlight and the highlight to the left, to about 0.35ish. This makes the color more of a pure green instead of a slightly bluish-green like what you have now. I also think you should lower the brightness of the highlight a little bit, just so it isn't so flashy. As for Aquamarinmetallic, this one seems to be a bit tricky to replicate. I did a version for myself, but it isn't that different from your version. You might want to increase the saturation of the lowlight and decrease the saturation of the highlight, just to capture the effect that the real color has. Again, good job on the first attempt, but these are the kinds of detail-oriented things that one needs to focus on to produce the most accurate colors.

@Marc r34, thank you for saying what you said. I agree that this is a community project and that we should involve the community and help people out when they have questions and such. Thank you for standing with me on this.

@Mitcho2001, do you think you could do Aurora Diamond Green Metallic? I wasn't able to get a convincing replica of the color, and I think you might be able to do it.

 

[MadaraxUchiha]

This is ridiculous. Being personally insulted was very uncalled for and I love how you’re all just ganging up on me now. Yeah, I’ve been snapping lately because the same things keep happening here over and over and we’re all sounding like broken records. No one reads the rules as have been said many, many times. No one checks the chart before making requests. And also, no one ever asks if anyone is having a good day or checking on the general well-being of others. As a matter of fact, I am a very friendly and outgoing person. I have good days and bad days like everyone else. Yesterday was a bad day.

 

[Marc r34]

Noone has insulted you though your taking people trying to make colours for themselves and asking if it can be put on the spreadsheet as an insult to you when they didnt even direct the message to you. We arent ganging up but if multiple people are saying and feeling the same way then thats just the vibe your giving off. Ruin the spreadsheet by all means if thats how you feel. It just shows what kind of person you are and shows that this community project is way to personal for you when its about everyone not just yourself

You insulted me. You said I live in a basement and have no personal skills, which is a lie on both counts. And you’re still going at it. I’m trying to make amends and you’re still carrying on.

 

[Marc r34]

Yes because you randomly get angry at people for no reason. Im not sure where you think your able to talk to another human in that way let alone someone who has the same passion and hobby as you. This is a community not somewhere to release your anger. Yes we all have bad days but dont bring them bad days here and put everyone else in the same mood. If your in a bad mood try not replying and wait till you are abit more positive its as simple as that
