The GT6 Colour Matching Thread

[TexRex]

I'm curious, how many chips do you have???

1947. I have some trepidation about hitting the 2000 mark (just as I did the 1000 mark) and being unable to continue gathering, though.

Does anybody have any idea what exact green this is?

 

[Gotbeefboy564]

Green from the BMW 2002 might work. But it might be darker than that green.

Exact isn't really an option with such low resolution and such aggressive lighting, but Spirited Green Metallic from the Mazda Demio Sport '10 is probably a safe bet.

That came to mind and so did the reason for not mentioning it.

Taiga Metallic from the BMW 2002 Turbo suits the car perfectly 👍. Thanks for your help, fellas!

I'm looking for a colour I had in GT5, was wondering if you guys could maybe help me out.

I believe it was called Tahiti Blue or Tahitian Blue. It was really really dark, and had a hint of violet in it.

Any help tracking this down is greatly appreciated

Can't quite remember, but try the old mini Cooper.

Boom!! That's the one, thank you so much

Lucky guess

I think it's a Rover colour, so I'd have said the MGF / MG TF, but the (Rover-era) Mini makes sense also!

Just had a quick look - the MGF has actually got Amaranth (purple) just like the old Mini. It also has Tahiti Blue, but it actually IS blue, unlike the Mini colour!

Then you really did get the right one!

I notice the paint colour accuracy suffered in the "translation" from GT4 to GT5 (although it was better for some cars, strangely), and again to GT6 in some cases, since they changed the way paint is shaded. I think that's why they changed some of the GT5 polarised paints (from the seasonals) in a GT6 update.


Now that you mention it, I remember the Mini's Tahiti Blue being a bit off. But yeah, it's definitely blue on the Minis in real life, too. I know it from an old 214si we had

Nice one. I'm running a Nocturno Blue Vauxhall Corsa at the moment, so I bought one the same in game as well!

Colour itself in game is way off though. In the flesh, it looks black from some angles. Really dark faded navy. On GT6 it's really quite vibrant.

Post a picture (not necessarily of your own) and I'll see if I can find a match.

 

[lbpomg95]

Already found that the Saturn Blue off the Vectra was almost dead-on xD

 

[TexRex]

Nevermind then.

 

[lbpomg95]

It's a really good looking colour in the flesh. Almost makes you take the car seriously. Then you remember that it's got 50BHP.

You're right, the Tahiti Blue on the MGF actually is blue

The one from the Mini is what I was actually after. Seeing it again, it's definitely more purple than blue....still what I'm looking for though

Thanks again

Who cares? Its still a joy to drive. In fact, the most disapointing is that its 1998 which have a wrong feeling.

I want to paint my scirocco viper green any ideas?

Try Sassy Grass Green from the Plymouth Cuda or Sublime from the 70 Dodge Challenger.

 

[Marron]

Is there an "Orange Mica" car in the dealership that matches the new Lexus? The closest I've found is "Lava Orange Pearlescent," but that's slightly darker.

Audi TTS Coupe '09 (Glutorange) is close.

While your response is definitely admirable, it's worth noting that the request was made nearly 6 months ago. Also have a look at this, it's a list of notable requests and their responses from this thread all packed into a single post.

My bad I saw the thread and thought maybe PD was or is going to release. I was then just scanning through the thread and saw the VW and that is why I made the post. I seriously didn't see that it had been that long since the request was made. I'm glad I did the pre-order of the AE Edition and I have won several colors in the TTs and seasonals.

Maybe someone will come along and it will help them like the guy in post #362 from Saturday looking for a green for the Corvette. The Cuda has several colors of green.

 

[Space Munkie]

Does anybody know about any paint chips that might be red metallic with orange pearl? Or vice-versa? Anything with a nice blend or red & orange. Let me give an example.

 

[lbpomg95]

That looks AWESOME! Closest thing I can think of, however is TVR colours.

 

[scholesy1899]

AE colour shifts if you got 'em. Tex will confirm.

 

[lbpomg95]

There aren't really any of the AE colours, metallic or colour shift, to match perfectly.

 

[scholesy1899]

TVRs Chameleon Orange or Formula Red Pearl don't fit. Don't look like any dealership colours fit.

I still say AE, though none are exact. GT6 Polarized 004, 007 or 044. 007 is closest.

 

[SuperVeloce]

Anyone any ideas what colour is close to this?

Fresh Green from the Lexus LFA '10.
