Advice: Shades of Trans.-Blue - Franklin W. Cain - 2021-10-27
I need some advice, please, on specific shades of "transparent blue" to be used in a MOC.
I've attached two images, showing the proposed shades to be used for:
* Building Glass
* Free-Standing Water
* Water Spray (from a water fountain)
In the first version, I'm using color-47 for the water spray. In the second version, I'm instead using color-43. In both versions, I'm using color-41 for the glass windows, and color-293 for the free-standing water in the fountains.
Version 1:
Version 2:
At first, I used color-33 for the free-standing water, but it looked just a bit too dark to me. For now, I'm using color-293 instead.
Any thoughts? Please let me know what you think.
Thanks! ;-)
Franklin

Consider:
Trans Dark Blue for the windows
Trans Light Blue for water
Trans Clear for the fountains
