Hi guys  ;D

Here it is full of skilled people to photoshop, im going crazy to create the base color of this bike:

You could help try to get a result as close as possible?

My problem is recreating this strange "green dark sea", for the metallic effect i have already thought about how to create it, but without the base is pretty useless  :'(

Try
Colour: #4e8f93
Add:
Grain Texture Intensity 16, Contrast 45 regular

You will need to adjust Intensity and Contrast dependant upon your scale to give it metallic effect.

See what you think m8  ;D

I tried, the problem is always the color does not match  >:(

doesn't look like you have the grain metallic in that?

Hmmm I try something else too hang on

Have you tried colour-picking the colour you want from the actual photo itself? Just be mindful that from a real photo the colour you want will vary greatly depending on were you position your colour-picker, so you may want to try this several times from different locations to get the correct shade you want. This should give you your base green type colour your looking for.

I tried several times, but the result is always too light blue  ???


I want to throw the laptop out the window  ;D

Tricky innit

Its do-able if you don't crack it I will have another go before Sunday if you want me too but now I must grab some practice  :)

Have you tried using exposure to tone down the lightness? Might give you the shade you want? Worth a try.  ;)

Green is 3c8d8e
Yellow is f0ec4d

These are the excact colors of the original picture.
The green looks spot on, the yellow could be a bit brighter imo, so you`ll have to choose something that suits your taste.

Jamoz i love u!!!

After i try  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Surely I lose a step, if I put that color I get this, is no different?

Have you checked your opacity and fill settings? Just thinking you may have left opacity or fill at 70 or 80%?

Just a thought.  ;)

I checked both have 100, maybe i have some strange settings on PS? (with the colors i suck  ;D )

Looks fine to me?

Maybe the difference is that on my bike i used a shadow layer on top to give everything a bit more depth...

You say the same? I'm really blind? xD

EDIT: yes It must be to, I test now  ;D

It looks almost exactly the same as the original color on the picture. Is your monitor calibrated correctly? :P

Try increasing the brightness to 25 and the contrast to 35 on your layer, see the difference?

Brightness +25 and the contrast +35 on my layer  ::) and no difference with your picture  ;D

Creating a copy of the layer and placing it in multiply, the result seems identical to yours, you say? (Maybe just a little darker)

Multiplying a layer will only make it darker, why do that?

Other than that i`d say they look pretty similar. Have you tried the brightness & contrast adjustment?

Because if I do not, the shadows are too light, (template problem) i adjusted a little with the contrast and brightness, for the moment are here:
P.S. beautiful wheels eh?  ;D

Your getting to good mate :D

Thx Nick and Matty ;) The base color (not yet final) I changed it because the real bike is the grayish, as you can see from this photo:
