You just take care of yourself, buddy. Your well-being and mental health are far more important than colors in a car game. Take whatever time you need, and don't pressure or rush yourself to get back here. I've been making what car colors I can myself, and helping with what I can. Your real life is more important than the virtual one :)
Thanks, mate. I will admit that this is very time-consuming and I probably spend too much time working on it. That being the case, I’ll mention when I’ll be inactive and try to regularly come back and see how everything is coming along. :)

Saw this in a video don’t think the color is in the game.

Hello. Can somebody recreate Grigio Vesuvio colour from Alfa Romeo Giulia and Noble Blue from Maserati GranTourismo? Both colours are in game, so I think screenshots are unnessesary. Thanks.

Yeah, I don't know what kind of Weissbier they are downing at BMW, but giving two color chips such similar names is idiotic.

I'll see if I won't manage to find some time to get a match for Atlantis Blue, but no promises.

As a bonus: I was applying Viridian green off @Mitcho2001's chart to the Vanquish Zagato, with the intention to replicate a car I spotted at the Turin Auto Show... And the tone seemed a bit off to me. So I reworked it a bit.

To be honest, pretty much all of the first lot of colours I did need a rework. I’ll may end up replacing the pre-existing values with what you’ve done. Also, those Atlantis Blue values will be added.

Wait, I'm confused. Atlantis Blue as you've recreated it here looks an awful lot like Atlantic Blue as you recreated it in the FH3 version of this thread. The people who requested both colors used the same image for both colors' requests.

Referring to that article about the guy whose M3 was painted the wrong color, Atlantic Blue is supposed to be a lighter paler blue.

Don't take this personally, but I think you should revisit Atalntic Blue Metallic.

Oh, wow. What a story. It was indeed Atlantis Blue! But it appears that my research wasn't sufficiently thorough and I got the color names mixed up back then. I now remembered how I came to the values for "Atlantic" Blue, and I am not surprised they are so similar to the ones I've found two years apart for Atlantis Blue, because I used the same image as a reference, and the same technique to extract the color.

Will the real Atlantic Blue please stand up? :lol:

As a way of an apology for this eff up, I'll get Atlantic Blue done, hopefully soon.

The Atlantis Blue you did for Forza Horizon 3 had something off about it. I tried it on my BMW the other day and it didn't look right. However, the new values you've done are the exact color, and you definitely hit it out of the park with this one, so the new one is what should be entered in the chart. I have the new Atlantis Blue on my BMW M4 and I absolutely love it :)

Also, what technique do you personally use to extract the colors?

I did a Grabber Lime (2020 GT500) of my own, but it looks nothing like yours. Interesting. Also, the one I did isn't metal flake, it's a normal (gloss) paint. I wonder what picture you used as a reference. I'll have to take pictures of mine and show you. The Grabber Lime reference I used are these, and these are how it *actually* looks in person:

When I use the one you provided, it ends up looking like this, which I think is the reference you used:

So as you can see, there are two types of Grabber Lime for the 2020 GT500. The one that is metallic, like yours, and the one that is glossy, how it appears in person, which is the one I made.

From what I've read, Ford produced the metallic version as a limited edition sort of thing for St. Patrick's Day.

Righty-ho! Those have been added to the sheet, with some being replaced with these more accurate values. Seeing as there's a bit of discussion about the new Grabber Lime, I'll have a look into that tomorrow when I'm on and working on more requests.

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum. You all are doing an amazing job so thanks very much.

I've been going through the pages and all the spreadsheets but actually can't find the original Senna color. Apparently it's called vision victory grey

If anyone can help with it.

Thanks a lot!

From what I can tell, this color is already on the car in the game. It does look quite blue, but so do most of the images of this color. It's the color this car is painted in the Autoshow thumbnail.

Yes indeed, it's the original color of the car and the color they use for the game poster. Unfortunately it is only available on the Senna and I wanted to use it on another car

Well, then, here's what you do:
1. Enter the "apply decals" booth.
2. Select any vinyl shape.
3. Use the color sliders to adjust the color of the decal until you can't tell where it ends and the car's paint begins. That is the color.
 
My best values so far for that McLaren Grey are:
H:59 S:30 B:47 but maybe the better painters here can help!

Since you did these colors for people, do you think you could give the colors I uploaded a shot? I've tried so many times and can't seem to get them right for the life of me :/ They're the BMW post I just did with Velvet Blue, Twilight Purple and that Matte Red. Also, if you're able to, could you try to recreate the ones I uploaded a while ago for Quicksand (Toyota), Sonic Gray Pearl (Honda), Mango Tango (Dodge) and Go Mango (Dodge)? Thank you very much. I'd also love to know what method you use for extracting colors.

If you ask me, those values for both colours look near (if not) spot on! There's a list of the other colours the Senna has available, so I reckon that could prove to be useful. In case anybody wants it, here it is: http://media.mclarenautomotive.com/en-gb/releases/533
