Hey everyone,
I have a feeling a color sale will be up soon, and as you know a faction camo pattern sale is already underway. So lets start a thread where we can give and take some tips on recommended colors\color combination, patterns on different 'Mechs or just to show off your favorite camo spec!

Here are some of mine:
One of my favorite color combination is Slate, Camo Light Blue \ Obsidian White and Gamboge.

Gamboge in general is a great color, isn't premium so it's 500MC and is basic orange-gold color I use mostly for linings or as a tertiary color. Slate is good as a primer and has a realistic feel to it.

Another color I like is Mordo, it is the darkest color I could find that isn't premium and it's almost as black is Obsidian Black (which I use just because I got it from past event)
Here is an Arrow for comparison:

Can you tell which one is the Mordo and which is Obsidian?
The AJ Cyan I also got from an event but I bought Zircon which is very similar but with less saturation.

Another color combination I like:

Rasalhague Blue is a good dark blue that works well with other shades like Cobalt and Manganese.
I like using Titanium White for those linings since it is so bright so it fits on a lot of 'Mechs w these kind of linings. Also Ross.

I almost never get patterns, but if I do I get the one shot since I think they have much more value (different patterns for each variant, cost less etc.). Since I really didn't like the default camo for the loyalty 'Mechs last year (not sure what to think on the upcoming ones)

I found that using the Raider makes The Zeus-9S2's overlay pattern looks really good. Again I used Gamboge, Titanium White and I switch the Slate for Goluboy, which fits better IMO.

I'm looking to get more colors so I would love to see your combinations!

Most of the time I rock my personal yellow-and-green. However, the gold paint in The Roc inspired to put that one in the colours of 3rd Canopian Fusiliers.




(MoC is the faction I've always really wanted to play for. If PGI goes through with the plans for FP, I wonder if they might introduce major periphery powers, as it'd no longer involve extra "buckets".)

In an attempt to emulate the German Ambush patern, I went with basic green and red, with the 500mc ugly yellow, forgot what it's called, something nausiating, caustic or something like that maybe.




On the snowfall pattern it come close.



However I also like the look of fractal, it's less like the factory ambush pattern, and more like the field applied variations that were pretty common. And just by moving the colors around you can get a good variety in overall look.








On mechs that I dont deem worthy of 75mc pattern (inner sphere), I can just paint them all yellow and still keep my german armor theme.

Yes, the unique geometry and camo pattern are for the phoenix version.

I'm salty.

[Radbane]

It's all about the Skilltree now, so I thought I'd necro an old thread to break the norm =)

I bought all the number deckals because I've been naming my Mechs by number since day one. M1 for my first one, the Cat. And that little 01 made it prettier than ever =D

The sad thing is the brightness of those decals. I've said it before, I'll say it again, decals need a 90% opacity. The tan trim color on my E model (Butterbee) is the same I have on the girl decal .. and ... well ... the colors are NOT even close to be the same.
