Badlands Sticker Color

[BS_Fishin']

I painted my towhooks to match the Badlands sticker color, but I don't think I got the color quite right.

I wanted to keep that yellow/orange with a gray undertone (to complement Cactus Gray) and not end up with a too-bright Primary Color look, but I think it's a little too yellow and not enough orange. Any ideas on automotive paint colors to try?

PS. Or am I being crazy?

At least, in the photos, they look quite similar! You took them off? How you did it?

I'd guess it's supposed to be cyber orange...fwiw as stated the photos look close enough you can't tell the difference, looks great.

Yup, way too yellowy.

PS. Or am I being crazy?

Yes, and we like it.

Looks good. If it were mine it’d sure be close enough to suit me — as my daddy used to say, “No body will know the difference in 100 years”.

Looks good enough for me! What paint did you use?

 

[Ponyrider]

So close I wouldn't mess with it. I like it!

DON'T ASK ME! I'm color blind. And, I mean TOTALLY color blind. I am diagnosed as mono-chromatic, only see black and white. I do perceive color through luminosity and training. So, guess what color my Badlands is........................YEP, Oxford White with a Black roof!

Opps. Ok, that boat thing on your roof!

Interesting, my son is color blind but it's the red/green kind. I've never heard of someone being completely colorblind! That must make things difficult.

See "Achromatopsia ". I understand that folks like me were sought after during WW2 because traditional camoflage doesn't hide from us (fortunately I was too young then). The human brain is a remarkable thing, and can compensate for many handicaps. Mine learned an alternate method to distinguish colors, so I DO see colors, just in a different manner than most. Thats why most of the Bronco Sport colors are really bland to me (no offense folks). It's also likely why I prefer to live in the mountains and forest amoung earthy colors. (and why my Badlands is Black & White)

I guess you are not a favorite of politicians who try to ride the fence without doing anything, and only see black and white to appease their political base.
Just kidding. Couldn't resist the urge to poke fun at our own society.

No offense taken, and, I think most politicians only see shades of green (with different presidents pictures). I see them as USA enemy #2, with Media as #1. But, I do love the forum members (well, most of them) with their input, help and questions!
