The RA colours

Dutchygamer · Posted: Thu Sep 10, 2009 6:40 pm Post subject: The RA colours

As some of you mentioned that the housecolors didn't fit, I decided to add the RA1 housecolors to the already excisting colours:

Front row: Teal, Green, Red, Orange
Back row: Yellow, Brick Red, Beige, Blue

They look cool, but the units themselves need colour changing. #Tongue

Tried all remap?

Other than that I can only suggest grey... I'm not a fan of the Soviet colour either. Grey for both RA1 factions or just have them the same as the RA2/3 factions.

All remap is a bitch to do, and I want to keep the style DaFool started. And yes, the Allies vehicles will get a colour change. I'm thinking of a light-blue/grey colour (like this, but bit darker and more grey). The Russians may get a colour change too, but I ain't sure with what I must replace it. I won't do both armies grey #Tongue

Then I'd make them the same as RA2/3 colours. At least then all Allies and all Soviet's will be cohesive.

I am still considering whether to keep the original colours (Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Light Blue, Orange, Purple and Pink) and the RA1 colours, or only use the RA1 colours. I doubt the RA1 colours will look good on the other armies...

One thing you don't want to do is to have tons of colour, but some only differ from others by their slightly different shade. So, include some from both that are not two similar. The teal, for instance, would be fine with the other General's colours.

Dutchy,there's something annoying me with these models,and its the texture.Look at that dark green/blue texture.

Make it darker,and choose rather a shade of gray than green/blue.

Just dont have really bright blue remap, it looks lame.

If you want less colours then just have RA2 colours (but maybe replace the shades with some of these). There's nothing wrong with pink.

*resurrects thread*
Small update: British vehicles are more grey now, and it indeed looks better.
I've also redone the Russian vehicle colour too. See the pic:

Which is better: the new one on the top, or the old one on the bottom. I know the difference ain't big, but now both army colours are more grey-like.
