Title: Color swatches with RGB values for skinning
Post by: poopster on October 06, 2002, 02:57:20 PM

Collected these addresses for colors when skinning over a WB.
All either have RGB values or CMWK values that plug right in to photoshop

Axis colors:

Allied colors:

http://www.concentric.net/~Rojo1/camocolors.html

enjoy :)

Wtg Poopster!

I've been using the Concentric site... didn't know about the other two. mucho thanks!

Tip on the Concentric website: don't use the CMYK numbers to mix colors... depending on what color profile you have loaded (complicated topic for some other time) you will not get good results. Rather, drag the actual color chips into your paint program and sample them there in RGB.

Poop, what is your opinion of the accuracy of the colors on the other two sites?

Jeez Dux it's so subjective. I was skinning LW a/c and used that site exclusively. Had some other axis sites but the selection led me to believe they were not complete.

The concentric site for allied colors seems more extensive..

Have fun, when there is a page to go with understandable directions, I'm going to give it a shot :)

Anyone have a CMYK->RGB convertor? PSP can only split too CMYK. I'm having to divide things by hand to get RGB values from CMYK numbers.

Hmmm... PhotoShop can do this pretty easily, maybe a different editor might help (not necessarily PhotoShop, but something better than PSP).

Poor Man's Converter: Build a color swatch of the colors you need in CMYK. Take a screenshot. Sample the color values from the screenshot (your monitor is ALWAYS in RGB mode).

... or take a screenshot of one of the pages Poopster posted above.

You mean something like this

If not, do a search in Yahoo or another search engine
CMYK to RGB convertor

http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search?p=CMYK+to+RGB+convertor  but since I know nothing ;) about paint programs I can't be of much help.
