Gold color? - Philippe Hurbain - 2013-01-18 It seems that color code 82, metallic gold, was changed in latest ldconfig.ldr. It now looks dark and brownish (it could be a convincing copper color!). Is this intended? what color code should I use to get the right color in patterns or gold painted parts? #DBAC34 -> #8C5C20 Re: Gold color? - Scott Wardlaw - 2013-01-18 It was by someone else's request :-) the problem with these colors is that they are different shades at different angles of light. I'm happy to make it a bit lighter...I'll look at it today. Thanks, Scott W. Re: Gold color? - Philippe Hurbain - 2013-01-18 Thanks, Scott. Mmhhh... I can see this discussion http://forums.ldraw.org/showthread.php?tid=4376&pid=4376#pid4376, but as far as I can tell it concerns the addition of a new copper color, not the modification of existing gold color? imho previous value (#DBAC34) looked pretty good... Re: Gold color? - Michael Heidemann - 2013-01-18 I agree to Philo ! Re: Gold color? - Scott Wardlaw - 2013-01-18 So you guys prefer this: instead of this: They are both the same color, just different light settings. Thanks, Scott Re: Gold color? - Philippe Hurbain - 2013-01-18 I think so, yes... I looked again both versions, old color is right (new one is definitely too dark and too red). Re: Gold color? - Max Martin Richter - 2013-01-18 Yes, I think the old one is right. Re: Gold color? - Scott Wardlaw - 2013-01-18 OK, I will change it back to the old color (#DBAC34). I'm still waiting for any more 2013 colors to come out, but I don't expect any new additions, but one possible: Bricklink lists Glow in the Dark White and Glow in the Dark Opaque. I have been hesitant to add Glow in the Dark White, but I don't own any of those pieces to know if the color really is different. Anyone own a Glow in the Dark White and a Glow in the Dark Opaque piece that can confirm a difference in color? Thanks, Scott
