keithd Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Would appreciate any feedback.I created a pdf color wheel to show the RGB and Percentage values for 12 basic colors, (Primary, Secondary, tertiary). I started off trying to do it mathmatically but quickly found I didn't like those results so I adjusted, and not sure I'm happy with all (like violet)I'm a beginner with one CCR, working on my 2nd sequence, and find the wheel a good reference for color "recipies". Let me know if you think a different color combination is better for any of the colors... Attached files RGB color wheel.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the colors I picked in the house, then went outside and stepped back 50 feet and the CCR colors looked a little different. Still working on the perfect colors for an idea I have.Thanks for the PDF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulXmas Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Are these actual colours of the CCRs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBullard Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 The way I do it is to hook up the CCR to see what the "true" color is.Have used lots of different color wheels in the past, (they are all over the internet) but found that different monitors will almost always show colors different then the CCR does.

keithd Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 Yes, these are the values I came up with for each color using the CCR. For example a regular RGB value for orange was way to bright, so I made my adjustments and created these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Amedee Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 KeithFirst thing people will see with CCR's is the visulizer colors are useless!!!!! The only good ones are RED, Green and blue..Every thing else you need to see the ribbon to tell the real color. Ther color wheel is cool to help us lazy people do it quick !!!

George Simmons Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 JBullard wrote:... different monitors will almost always show colors different then the CCR does.I find myself in complete agreement. Since I got my first CCR I've used three different monitors here at home and the colors look(ed) different on all three. Currently (and for the past six or seven months) I'm using a 22" Hanspree LCD monitor (a Best Buy sale deal) and the colors are an exact match with the CCR - except the CCR is much brighter. Another good reason to get rid of those old clunky CRT beasts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
