Has anyone managed to find the default colour for the Speedtail?

I actually did this same color nearly two years ago, long before I started working here. I could have a go at redoing the color, as it's probably not very good. I just called it Speedtail Blue. I just did some looking. I can't find the actual name for the color anywhere.

I'd either just call it Speedtail Blue or label it as "--" in the Excel and mention the Speedtail in the side notes.
 
I think what I’m going to do from now on for cars like that is in the notes I’ll add either the German name or English name, depending on which naming scheme I add to the chart. I make sure when doing cars like that to check on the chart if the name is German or English, so I don’t end up doing the same thing. I’d prefer it if we didn’t have multiples of the same color on the chart, but I’m not going to discredit your work or make you take yours off. People can use either your version or my version if they so choose to do. Do note, however, that for mine I used the actual paint chip. And no, I’m not talking about the stuff on PaintRef either because as we know those are approximations and not the actual colors at all. They don’t show the flake for metallic paints whatsoever. I have my own source for the actual paint chips.
That's what I've done with some of the colours I did. Though for the most part, it's been for other names of the same colour. Ice White Tricoat under Abarth is just one of those examples, where I also mentioned Snowflake White in the comments for it. It's also pretty handy if there are at least two of the same colour - if they are listed under different paint codes. But it does make some things easier, especially when it comes to finding a colour under a specific name.
 
If this sounds familiar to you, it probably is considering this has been around for quite a few years now, started by Terronium-12. The sole purpose of this is to be able to bring in more colours from many other vehicles, considering Forza's colour variety is probably still smaller compared to those of Gran Turismo. So basically, you can have any colour you want on any car you desire! Right now, Terronium's colours sheet feels slightly outdated, but if you do want to use it, go for it, because what I'm working on still has a lot of work to do and I shall explain why.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

THE ORIGINAL SPREADSHEET

MY SPREADSHEET
CLICK HERE
LEGEND
L: Left click (start of value)
R: Right click (before next value)
Right now, 652 colours are in and confirmed, however with a larger range of colours per manufacturer. So expect a lot of colours when this is eventually filled out! For the time being, Terronium's would be the best to use as there are some better and more interesting choices, as well as more suggestions that have been created in the first link. Not to mention there are 576 colours from a larger range of manufacturers; the complete opposite of mine. I'm more than welcome to hear your suggestions, so you can request any colour you want that isn't featured. I'll do my best to ensure colours continue to be added to the spreadsheet in the shortest time possible. If I don't get around to it, feel free to remind me about it!

If you want to help anybody out with any colours (if at all I become suddenly inactive,) here are some links to help with finding a colour:

Has anyone done BMW Santorini Blue? Thanks

This is going to be a rote response, but if you haven’t seen it on the chart then it hasn’t been done yet. Please, please, please check the chart before making requests. @JaCor653 has already stressed how annoying this is, and it’s getting irritating for me as well. I’m sure if it keeps happening we just won’t be doing requests. Period. That’s what happens when people can’t follow simple rules.

That being said, I’ll see what I can do. Do check the chart again, though, in case it’s there or is under another name.

Edit: I checked the chart myself, it wasn’t there so I’ll do it.

The color is actually called Rebel Blue. Someone else requested it a few weeks ago. @MadaraxUchiha said he would do it, but he hasn't yet. @MadaraxUchiha, are you still planning on doing this color, or can I do it?
I've got Rebel Blue ready to go with my next colour drop. While I don't have a screenshot of it yet, I do have the values for it.
Paint Type: Normal
Hue: 0.57 L
Saturation: 0.64 R
Brightness: 0.83 L
(I'll get the screenshot ready by tomorrow for my next colour drop.)

Actually, I didn’t say I would do it, that was @Mitcho2001. I’m not sure when he’s going to get around to doing it.

Edit: I stand corrected, he already did it lol

@liamsjtaylor Well, neither of them are Rebel Blue. Enzian Blue is closer to Porsche’s Voodoo Blue.

I figured I would take the opportunity to do it during Winter and wait for Spring to roll around before I could get it in some natural light. Obviously I forgot about it, being hidden amongst a lot of other colours I have for my own spreadsheet. It isn't very tidy right now, so I've started cleaning out what's been done leaving me with the colours I have done. If it weren't for me starting to clean it up today, I probably would not have seen it and would end up feeling guilty not posting it. Whoops... :lol:

I've had a quick look through the spreadsheet and can confirm that Verde Alceo, Azzurro Thetys, Grigio Lynx and Viola Alethia have been done by @MadaraxUchiha. And as he said, we haven't forgotten about them. 👍
There are a few other Lamborghini colors he requested at the same time that I have to do, and I have to do the color Oro Adonis that was requested as well. They're all still coming, though, I promise. Things have come up, but I'm still making colors when I'm able to :)
