Title: repaint colour blend help needed
Post by so666 on May 22^nd, 2009 at 10:18am

Hi Captsim.
I was wondering if you could help me with a colour tint problem,i cannot find any info on the olympic colour tints,as i wish to do a repaint on an aircraft,i.e. the red/green/blue blend for all the different colours of this scheme,this includes the blue stripe/fin base colour,and the olympic ring colours.
Thankyou in advance for any help given.
regards alan. 8-)

Hey Alan,

The way I do that with photoshop is the following:
I find a clear picture or something like that (or a logo with the right colours) and take the colours from there with the 'eyedropper tool'. It works quite nice if you have good pictures.

Hi Tyrion.
Yes i know that is one way to do it,but it is a flawed way,as you do not get the exact colour blend,only an approximate blend,and if all else fails,i will have to do just that.
