Guys, I have a question. There are some colors that are very dark when I put them in cars. What should I do? Is it some setting in the game?

Guys, I have a question. There are some colors that are very dark when I put them in cars. What should I do? Is it some setting in the game?

So when I create colors, I use the actual paint chips of the cars, not reference pictures. That’s how the paint is supposed to look. Also, the color is originally from a Porsche Macan. Please don’t question our colors as they’re all accurate. If you don’t like it you can honestly do it yourself.

Here’s a Porsche Macan in Aurum Metallic:

Your reference picture has different lighting. What I have provided is accurate and matches the pictures I have shown.

You may not have understood my question or are having a bad day, but at no time did I criticize the colors here. I just wanted to ask a question. Try to calm down. And thanks for clarifying.

No, I get annoyed when people make requests but then question what we do. We know what we’re doing here and what we do is accurate and to the best of our abilities. It sounds very ungrateful for people to complain about it especially when they don’t take the time to do it themselves. What I, @JaCor653 and @Mitcho2001 provide are all accurate and correct. If people don’t like it or think they can do better, by all means do it but don’t expect us to respond to requests just for you guys to whine about it.
 
@MadaraxUchiha, if I may say so, those images you posted don't look like the best ones to use. Yes, your color is accurate . . . to those pictures. At least to me, the pictures in @yDI4MOND's Instagram post look better. If I were making that color, those are the images I would use.

I use the actual paint chips for all the colors I do so that’s how it’s supposed to look. You know that and everyone on here knows that. Photos taken with a camera or cell phone or whatever form aren’t the same. The same paint job can look many different ways based on a lot of different factors, but the way I make colors is by using the actual factory paint chips so that’s how they’re supposed to look. Now I’m even more annoyed. You do the damn color then and make it look like that stupid ****ing Instagram picture. Which, by the way, was probably edited with some kind of filter like so many other pictures on Instagram. I put way too much time and effort into this **** just for you to say something like that as well. I’m not doing requests anymore. You and @Mitcho2001 can do them because it’s getting really irritating being whined at because of my methods for doing colors.

Here’s another reference picture by the way:

So no, what I have done isn’t wrong and is accurate. He wants it to look like the stupid Instagram pictures and that is not what I do or how I create colors.

Also, for the record the Aurum Metallic from his pictures is based on the Aurum Metallic that is used on the rims. The one I did has an entirely different paint code. I’ll do the other one as well.

Edit: I did the version based on the rims. The paint code is OP9.

Aurum Metallic (OP9) (Porsche)

Paint Type:
Metal Flake
- Base: 0.08 L, 0.42 R, 0.49 L
- Flake: 0.09 L, 0.33 R, 0.72 L

Use that version @yDI4MOND

@yDI4MOND and @MadaraxUchiha, I've done some searching into the different versions of Porsche's Aurum Metallic. From what I can tell, Aurum Metallic is supplied with two paint codes--OP9 and M1R--for the same color. There is another Porsche color that uses the word "Aurum" in its name, and that color is Satin Aurum Gold. Since most satin colors are best represented with a two-tone matte base paint, I feel as though that would be the best option for Satin Aurum Gold. Porsche has used Satin Aurum Gold for its rims for years now, and they made a metallic version of it for the Macan which formed the basis for the color of the GT2 RS. I believe that the Macan and GT2 RS use the same version of Aurum Metallic for their body colors because I saw images of an Aurum Macan that looked very similar to the pictures from the Instagram post. Yes, a lot of Instagram pictures have crazy filters, but, and this is 100% my own opinion, those pictures do not appear to have been filtered. They were taken by a business whose job is to handle and catalog Porsches. I think it is safe to say they put more effort into taking their pictures than just snapping a couple of pictures with a smartphone camera. I, personally, trust the images in the Instagram post as accurate, well-lit images of Aurum Metallic.

With all of that having been said, I'd like to present my version of Satin Aurum Gold. I believe that, in one way or another, Aurum Metallic has been successfully and accurately replicated.

Satin Aurum Gold (Porsche)

Paint Material:
Two-Tone Matte
- Base Color: 0.08R, 0.28L, 0.87R
- Highlight: 0.08R, 0.41L, 0.68R

They really need to fix the amount of designs you can have in game. 500 isn’t enough and I’m tired of having to delete colors I use on my cars in order to try new ones. It’s really stupid.

I tend to delete most of my colors from the "My Designs" section. I figure, I have so many colors that I have recreated, and it is impossible to save them all in-game. The only colors I save as designs are ones that I am especially proud of or ones that have liveries associated with them. For the rest, I can check my spreadsheet if I want a particular color.

Colors shouldn't even count as "Design".

So I just want my car in a different color than the stock one you get from winning it on a wheelspin/buying at an auction, that has to count just like a design with thousands of individual layers?

Even if you paint your car with one of the colors we have they consider it a ‘design’. Pretty stupid I know but that’s how it is.
 
I presume it still works like the 360 games, where it renders a raster texture of your livery onto the car texture, and uses that instead of the original texture. Even if you've just picked a different stock colour, it's still filled the texture with that colour as a base. It's not the most efficient way to do it by far, and why they have a limit I don't know.

I did this color a long time ago, but I was not able to find many good reference images and the color ended up looking more like Guard than Baltic Sea Green. I was never satisfied with it, and I knew it needed to be redone. Here I am, all that time later, finally redoing the color.

Hello , I've got a couple of requests I was hoping for. The colours are Verde Shock, Arancio Livrea, Celeste Fedra, and Giallo Clarus. These are all the fluo capsule from Lamborghini featured on the Hurucan Evo.

Thanks a lot.
