GT5 Colour Database [Complete!]

[SlipZtrEm]

Wasn't 100% sure if this was the case or not, being that it is a "colour" database and not a "paint chip" database. I know there would be people out there interested in a list of colours for particular cars.. especially if there is no paint chip for it.

Hmm, I never thought about that; a full list of every colour would be handy, for the completists and curious alike. Perhaps, once this is done, I could add those in (the two-tones, the stripe options, etc)...

Have you looked at google docs? No need for zipping, can viewed online in most browsers, you can update it on the fly, can be viewed on smart phones, etc. Plenty of features suitable for sharing information.

I looked at it, but hadn't spent enough time to get clarification on whether anybody can modify anything in the file (which I don't want, but couldn't figure out how to do properly in the short time spent). I vaguely remember it spitting out an HTML-only page, not something more closely resembling Excel (like what the UCD Database looks like, for example). Once this is closer to being fully complete, I'll look into that...

Keep up the good work! 👍

Thanks! Which brings me to... it's much closer to being finished, finally. Next update will probably be Sunday evening; I'm going to go on one last mega-run through the UCD, as I've got 7 cars left to find in there. After that, it's just filling in the Paint Categories as they're gifted to me.

Looking for hot pink for my prius. My psn is same as my username.

Marketplace is that way.

That second post gives your answer. This database lists all colours available in chip form; no point listing colours that we can't really "access".

Technically, with the birthday glitchers and OCD aren't all colors (or pretty close to all of them) available by now?

For the record, the FT-86 concept only gives a single chip: Flash Red, since that was the original concept's colour. All the other colours are culled from various other cars in-game, and for whatever reason, PD decided they wouldn't provide chips.

Oh, so THAT'S why I didn't get a chip for that awful Chameleon Purple color. Nice prize car huh?

Also, I'm going to have to double check the Mach 1... seems it doesn't actually give out chips

Add that to the massive list of things PD should fix in the next update. No wonder it's taking so long to be released - first the 4MB glitch, and now this!

Current personal count is 1850 chips...

Not sure what can be done to fix problems people are encountering; I use WinRAR, and I (mistakenly, it seems) assumed it would play nice with others. I'll look into other options when I update.

Here's hoping you get it fixed soon, I'm having the same problem. I'm using whatever comes with Win XP.

 

[Rader]

Does anyone know where else I can get the Titanium Metallic paint chip? It's the silver color for the XJ220.

By default it should upload as read-only and hidden. After you upload the file open it and click "Share" on the top right and change "Private" to "Anyone with the link". At the bottom ensure that "Allow anyone to edit (no sign-in required)" is un-ticked to be sure no one can edit.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Thanks iNiff, working on getting it up on Google Docs now 👍

So... a small problem, with this new update: the Used column is now pretty much useless. The bigger problem? The colours of cars in the UCD is still hard-coded - it's not random, like how each user gets a different Online Dealership colour for cars (well, each PS3). If you're meant to get, say, a Winning Blue Metallic Axela 23S '03 on day 62 in your game, you will always get it that colour.

This means there might still be colours in the game that are only available as Gifts. Or, it might not. Since the UCD cycle gang has gone well past 2000+ days without seeing a repeat before this, I doubt the cycle is shorter now, and some cars, like the Superbird, come in a huge range of colours. I'm not going to go through that many days just to see which colours may or may not be available. Oh, and the Mustang Mach 1 and the McLarens still don't hand out chips...

A downloadable update will be coming later this evening, and the Google Docs link will be posted up to reflect it.

Hey,
First I'd like to say great job getting the database together, keep up the awesome work

Secondly, I understand you have a lot of paint chips and know a lot of these colours well, but is there any chance you could help me solve a specific colour "problem" on the race modified zr1? I would like to paint the nose the same colour black thats on the stripe so that the front and the stripe are seamless on the car, then the only seam would be the black to white, if thats possible. Any idea wich black is the right one, and how to obtain that chip?

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Thanks ksimpson211!

The best advice I would give is to check out your Chevy paint chips first, specifically the black available on the ZR-1 itself. You can always "preview" paints by applying it to the car, but do not exit GT Auto; doing so will trigger auto-save, and you'll lose your paint chips. If you're worried, I'd suggest backing up your save to a USB stick before checking out the paints 👍

Google Docs version now available!
There are 10 paint items that are missing info: 9 of which just need their Category, and then Eisen Gray Pearl, which Google tells me is an Evo VII colour, but never appeared in GT4 or GTPSP (the latter being the easiest way to view all Standard cars).

 

[ANNIHILATOR90]

You might want to change HEMI Orange to HEMI® Orange and all the ...weiss to ...weiß, just a suggestion, perhaps there are more of these symbols, I don't know.

And great job also, finally a complete list of this.


Also, is there actually a difference between paint chips from the same manufacture, yet a different model in GT5?
I noticed (for example) when I bought a TVR Tuscan Speed 6 '00 with Chameleon Orange and a TVR Tamora '02 with Chameleon Orange it counted as two similar paint chips, but when I bought a MINI COOPER S '05 with Dark Silver Metallic and a MINI COOPER S '07 with Dark Silver Metallic it counted as two different paint chips (according to GT5). And I'm not talking about receiving gifted paint chips from a friend, as that also seems to make every paint chip "unique" (according to GT5), if you know what I'm trying to say here.

 

[Khaddar]

Also, is there actually a difference between paint chips from the same manufacture, yet a different model in GT5?

I think the only answer to that is "sometimes". It seems that in most cases a given colour is the same across multiple models, and these stack. But there are other cases where the same name is used within a manufacturer for two completely different colours, which obviously won't stack. A couple of examples of this are Rosso Alfa (Alfa Romeo) and Green Pearl (Nissan).

 

[NickysLuckies]

I have a question for you guys, since I haven't collected all paint chips, not even close (500)... When sorting your paint chips by HUE + Solid colors, what is your darkest black? (no blue or purple variants)

Regards,

Nick

 

[SlipZtrEm]

I'm on the fence about having the names exactly as they're displayed in-game: the symbols make it a bigger pain using the Find feature (which I find is the best way to add my daily login bonuses), but on the other hand, it would be more accurate. Excel auto-corrected some: (TM) and (C), to funnily enough, the wrong uses, and I've yet to fix that too. Woops. I may create a new sheet with all unique colours listed so we have an idea of how many there really are.

What Khaddar said about colours is true - the rule is there isn't a rule. Two Pearl Greys from Jaguar look different from each other... then you have two Ultra Red Pearls from Mitsubishi, that definitely looked different from each other in GTPSP, and have different coloured paint chips in the menu, but the same colour when on the car. Quite a pain.

 

[A_s_z_t_e_c_h]

I bought an Audi RS 6 Avant In Misanorot perleffekt but it didn't give me the paint chip, I thought it was a glitch so i bought another, still no chip. how many more cars look like they should give a chip (i.e. they have a name and are not multi toned) but do not give a chip?

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it I never even thought about trying to "beat" the auto save before...

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Asztech - That's... odd. Every other colour for the car seems to give it out. I guess if you want the paint, you'll have to grab the English'd version :-/.

Ksimpson - No problemo, it's how I try to match paints, like trying to find a suitable replacement for Viper GTS Blue.

A small setback a few days ago had me out 200-something chips, but I'm mostly back, and the database is filling up. There are only 5 paints left that need to be categorized. After that, the fun starts with this new UCD setup, and I'm wondering how I'll go about finding that stuff out.

The english'd version? Do you mean an English version of the game or the paint? Also is it confirmed you can acquire the Misanorot perleffekt chip or is it just me not getting one?
If its just me not getting the chip I'll put a trade ad in the market place as I would really like this paint chip as its actually more of an eye sizzling bright orange colour than red

extra info

Misano red pearl effect is apparently the same colour and the RS6 does not give out a chip for misanorot perleffkt

 

[TenEightyOne]

This is great work - very useful!!!

One question, I'm looking for Chocolate Pearl Metallic.

I found it in the spreadsheet against the Nissan March '03 5-dr.

It shows New(NO), Used(NO), Prize(NO), Gift(YES). How exactly do I get my hands on this car?

It's probably really obvious...

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Well, the Used values are all pre-1.06 - Chocolate Pearl Metallic was only available as a random gift with the daily login bonuses (or, I suppose, a 1000 ticket). Now that multiple colours are available in the UCD, those values are kind of useless... so it might be available in the UCD, or it might not, we don't know yet since PD has completely changed around the UCD's order as well

 

[ANNIHILATOR90]

LoL, so you basically have to start all over again (partially) one of the reasons why I never started something like this, I couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel.

 

[ANNIHILATOR90]

I just noticed this by coincidence (since I bought the car myself in the UCD).

A colour from the Seat Ibiza Cupra '04; Azul Iluvia should (probably) be Azzul lluvia, with a non capital L, seeing as all the other colours of Seat are like this, the second word never seems to start with a capital letter.


As I said pure coincidence, I wasn't sure so I checked your list and then I noticed all the other colours were like that.



Status Report?

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Doh, that's right!

A small update is coming when I get home from work tonight, to the ZIP file at any rate. The Google Docs version is already updated to represent a few category/spelling fixes, an expanded palette for the Axela, a new TVR colour, and the confirmation of Gold Chrome. I'll edit in the proper Seat name in a few hours

 

[SlipZtrEm]

An Update Bump:
The database has been updated to reflect some small changes; The Motorsports Elise has been removed, the Seat paint has been corrected (thanks Annihilator!), and a new sheet has been added: Unique Colours.

It's not exactly representative of the full spectrum of unique colours in the game; Rosso Alfa, for example, has two slight colour differences over the years. I imagine the vague Toyota colours have some issues too (you'll see some with specific car names beside them, which is when I've observed a difference in-game). This treats identically-named colours in each make as the same colour, though this means things like Brilliant Red and Brilliantrot are considered different. Either way... it gives a good idea of how many unique paints, roughly, there are. Which is just south of 2400.

PD also fixed Ginetta, so their paints actually display under their name. That's been fixed too. Accents have not really been introduced, only on a handful of names so far; I still want it to be easily searchable for users, first. I just need to figure out how to tell Excel to stop turning (C) into a copyright symbol!

Have at it!

There's an option for that, I just wouldn't know where but I'm pretty sure it's also possible with "Find and Replace" © to (C), or some other copy and paste work would probably do the job as well.

Re:Mach1 not giving chips.....

Add that to the massive list of things PD should fix in the next update. No wonder it's taking so long to be released - first the 4MB glitch, and now this!

Added it to the Feedback / Ideas Section.

Tried to buy one the other day and was well cheesed off.

[Corpsey]

There are a lot of chips that are epic and the game doesn't give you.. like the RUF ones, those should have names and be obtainable but meh. I hate getting the Furai chips.. because you can't sell the stupid thing! if we can't trade it we should be able to sell it now.

 

[dirtycar74]

There's an option for that, I just wouldn't know where but I'm pretty sure it's also possible with "Find and Replace" © to (C), or some other copy and paste work would probably do the job as well.

In Excel, go to the options and turn off autocorrect.

 

[Corpsey]

anyone know a color similar to this?

Edit: Nvm I think the real color is Lapisblau and there's a cheap knockoff of it in the Mercedes selection (Japisblau?)

 

[Messiah]

Hi Guys - I recently started doing something like this myself but I might as well contribute to the community effort rather than giving myself headaches!!

Currently up to 1500 chips personally so hope I can add some missing colours and info.

Couple of questions - and I apologise if I'm going over old ground here...

1. How can you tell is a chip belongs to more than one car, or if 2 different cars from the same manufacturer with the same chip name are actually 2 different chips? (hope that makes sense)

2. I have a bug in my game that lists some chips as different colours - eg, it happens mostly with Matte's - my main account has 2 different matte orange chips but if I send them to my 2nd account they show up as 2 chips that are the same colour? Does the list take this into account?

edit - new chip for you - Bleu Alpine (a Metallic) - you've got the Solid varieties listed for the Alpine's, but one of mine is a Metallic (although not sure which!)

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Hey Messiah, to answer your questions;

1. The list currently doesn't differentiate between chips that have the same name, but are different colours, within the same manufacturer. Well, with exception to some obvious Toyota ones I've listed. The issue is how to make it clear which is which; I want to keep the names as close to in-game as possible (though again, those Toyota ones aren't), to aid users in updating their collection, but things like that, or Alfa's Rosso Alfa, or Dodge's different Blacks, make it difficult. The daily login bonuses are the main problem here; they don't tell you which car they're off of, though it is pretty easy to determine which makes they're from, since they will always be listed alphabetically by that. So, my method is as such;

• Starting from the top of the Excel file, I search for the first paint chips name, with the "match all contents" option checked.
• I search the entire list, or at least to the next chip's manufacturer (if I know what it is, or have a rough idea). If there's multiple manufacturer possibilities, I just narrow the view in-game to each possible one. If the chips right at the top of the pile, success (obviously, it might be second-or-third-down, if you've got a few log-in bonuses from the same make)

2. This is an odd bug that's been present since Day 1. The game will see two of the same paint as two different ones if you've received them from another account. But, oddly enough, if you send both of them to someone, like you said, they'll appear as the same colour, since they're both "Matte Orange" from another account. The list is instances of the chips available to a solo player with no outside influences (PSN friends). That is nothing more than an annoying problem with sorting.

3 (technically). Hmm, just noticed I have both versions of Bleu Alpine too, but didn't record which comes from which. Interestingly, they both look identical on a car. Another funny little hiccup in the system. Oh, wait... I did get my first one as a solid, when buying the A110, so...

...

Speaking of hiccups, I got a daily login bonus that was unexpected; a "white" (lowercase only) that files under Gran Turismo itself. Unless there are other colours like that (not found in regular play), I feel like I now have every possible colour chip listed in the game. Current personal count is 3069 (though I have yet to get the Unique Colours section working, which will shed light on the percentage of different ones I own).

I'll be updating the Excel file this weekend, and I'll update the GD version right now.

I have that gran turismo "white" myself - I'm just considering a special colour along the line of gold chrome!

You've double the paint count I have so I have some catching up to do!

Out of curosity, some cars from Ferrari, from the same year have the same paint but they're listed as different chips, I'm not covinced this is the case, but do they appear as different chips in the paint list?
