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

[MadaraxUchiha]

Awesome ! I've tried for a long time but I'm not good at matching colors.
Thank you for the quick reply and thank you and the others for your great work, that spreadsheet has been quite useful.

You are most welcome and I'm glad that you enjoy all the work we do

Hello! I think this message has been lost between others. I was requesting 3 colours below: Thank you!

McLaren: Faros Colour
Porsche: Graphite Blue
Ferrari: Azzurro california

I'll take care of these later today, unless someone beats me to them.

 

[MadaraxUchiha]

In case anyone is curious, Graphite Blue is a metallic paint job

 

[JaCor653]

@Chouchani, I have done your three colors. Here you go:

Azzurro California (Ferrari)

Paint Material: Metal Flake
- Base Color: 0.60L, 0.43L, 0.63R
- Flake Color: 0.59R, 0.30L, 0.79R)

Faros Color (McLaren)

Paint Material: Metal Flake
- Base Color: 0.59R, 0.51R, 0.35L
- Flake Color: 0.58L, 0.36R, 0.67R

Graphite Blue (Porsche)

Paint Material: Metal Flake
- Base Color: 0.58R, 0.39L, 0.61R
- Flake Color: 0.58R, 0.39L, 0.61R

I am convinced this color is not metallic. Despite the fact that it is called Graphite Blue Metallic, and considering what @MadaraxUchiha told me, I did not see one reference image that showed the slightest hint of metal flake. So, I also created a version that is gloss. Honestly, this looks closer than the metal flake version. With the metal flake version, I had to use the same values for base and flake colors, just to make it look as close as I could to the real color.

Graphite Blue (Porsche)

Paint Material: Normal (Gloss)
- Paint Color: 0.58R, 0.39L, 0.61R

Sounds like that other color I did the other day that was labeled as ‘metallic’ but didn’t look metallic whatsoever, and I believe it was also another Porsche color.

From what I’m seeing about Graphite Blue Metallic, people are saying the most important thing about it is that it changes depending on the lighting. When light hits it, it looks like your reference pics, but when it’s darker, the color is darker as well and looks more gray than the gray blue it shows in good lighting. An important lesson to all of us: lighting makes all the difference lol

 

[Chouchani]

Great guys! Thank you so much!

I looked through all of your colors from the last page, and I didn't see any metallic Porsche colors that looked like they weren't supposed to be metallic. Do you by chance remember to which color you were referring?

Also, @Chouchani, whose are the two cars in your profile picture? Do you have any more pictures of those cars, or can you find other pictures? I would like to recreate their liveries.

It wasn't one of the ones I did the other day, it was a while ago. I believe it was also one that Chouchani requested a while ago. It was a PTS color that was gray, now that I remember. It was called 'metallic' but ended up not being metallic whatsoever.

I remember that. It was Grigio Telesto, but the Porsche PTS version. That's a difficult color to make, because of the way Lamborghini developed and blended the paint of the color.

Yep! That's the one lol There are a lot of colors, mind, that have the word 'metallic' or 'pearlescent' or 'mica' in it that are still gloss paint jobs. Why they call them 'metallic' is beyond me. Also, I might make more colors today, but it's going to be Winter in a few hours so we'll see how that plays out. After I win the new cars for this season lol

I haven't been playing Forza lately because I just downloaded Yakuza 0 finally on my Xbox One X and I've always been a huge fan of the Yakuza series and this is the first time any Yakuza game has ever been on the system On a side note, I also speak Japanese very well and I used to live in Tokyo.

Not sure I would like the gameplay but for such an old game the graphics are pretty good! The other games will come in the future.

How about Verde Masoni

You didn't read the chart because I did that color a long time ago You'll even find the post I did of it if you type 'Verde Masoni' in the search bar. I believe the one that requested it last time was @Chouchani and I did it as requested.

Oh ok.

 

[MadaraxUchiha]

Oh ok.

Before you make a request, I'm sure you already know this but check the chart to make sure the color hasn't been done already It makes it easier for us when you guys check the chart beforehand.

Edit: So the color you want, as it turns out, is the metal flake version. The one I posted is the Opaco version which is a two-tone semigloss paint. If you want the metal flake version, use the values from the one I did before because it's still the same color, just a different paint type.

 

[Mitcho2001]

Things have been pretty slow-going on my end. I've started up work to get into university which may end up putting a limit on the work I put into the colours I recreate during the day this semester. However, I'm getting ahead on the colours I currently have planned; getting paint samples and noting the given values before finalising them when possible. To add to that, I'll have to update the list I have and remove the colours that had already been added. Every colour up to the end of the BAC list was sorted out months ago when I got my own copy of the spreadsheet, so chances are it's a bit outdated with some listed colours already on The Big List.
For now though, I do have some more Alfa Romeo colours to add.

EDIT
@Gotbeefboy564 Regarding the main spreadsheet, to see whether or not a colour has been done, ctrl+f (Find) is your friend. It takes you directly to the first cell which contains whatever you have typed into it and displays how many (other) cells contain the phrase you have typed in. This is probably the handiest tool to use when you are looking through it. There's that, or you can search the forum to see what has been added as @MadaraxUchiha said, which is probably the easier alternative in this case.

[JaCor653]

After I posted my version of Pacific Green Metallic, I realized it looked quite blue. It is one of those colors that are in between proper green and proper blue, but my rendition looked too blue. So, I've gone back and adjusted it to be slightly more green.

[C West]

Any thoughts on how to make Guard Metallic look a little more like Guard on the actual mustang? Maybe we can't because of how many colors Guard consists of but I thought I'd ask anyway

Yeah, it's a strange color to work with. I'll take a look at it in a bit.
