    Re: Dark Red in trains (was ...Dark Red LMS 4F 0-6-0 Freight Locomotive) —Jake McKee
   (...) For that matter, some of the old colors can play the same tricks. I have a standard red MOC that I wanted to have a dark gray stripe. When I actually used dark gray, the colors were really hard to look at (kinda like red and green together). (...) (22 years ago, 20-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)
   
        Re: Dark Red in trains (was ...Dark Red LMS 4F 0-6-0 Freight Locomotive) —Jason J. Railton
   (...) I know what you mean, but you can use it to your advantage. The Star Wars <set:7134> A-Wing fighter is a good example. The original is a grubby white with maroon panels. The Lego version has red panels, but the use of light grey gives an (...) (22 years ago, 20-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)
   
        Re: Dark Red in trains (was ...Dark Red LMS 4F 0-6-0 Freight Locomotive) —Stefan Garcia
   Jason and Steve, What is the color number for dk red and dk blue (in MLCad)? I'm trying to do a Napa Valley Alco rendering, and it uses dk red. As well as Lehigh Valley and one other one which I can't remember the roadname to at the moment. -Stefan- (...) (22 years ago, 21-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

     (...) I suppose that's how I should've posted my previous message (to all, not just Mr. Railton and Mr. Barile). My apologies if I offended anyone. -Stefan- (22 years ago, 21-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)
   
        Re: Dark Red in trains (was ...Dark Red LMS 4F 0-6-0 Freight Locomotive) —Steve Bliss
   (...) Well, I'm not Steve B ... well, actually I am. Anyway, looking at <www.ldraw.org/refer...s/colors>, the color code for dark red is 320. There isn't a recommended/official color code for dark blue; I'd go with 272 (that's 1 (blue) * 16 + 0 (...) (22 years ago, 21-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)
   
        Re: Dark Red in trains (was ...Dark Red LMS 4F 0-6-0 Freight Locomotive) —Steve Barile
   I've looked at the ldraw.org color table but didn't know there was a system to determine a color value. 272 = (that's 1 (blue) * 16 + 0 (black) + 256) looks awfully like an equation of sorts, is there a definition on how this works somewhere? And I (...) (22 years ago, 21-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

     Thanks for the info! Look for some new Alco schemes on Brickshelf in about 3 days. :^) -Stefan- (...) (22 years ago, 22-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)

     (...) Here they are! Napa Valley (URL) Valley (alternate) (URL) Island (URL) Valley (URL) know that gold color doesn't exist, but it was too cool to pass up. Again, many of the schemes are downright impossible to build, and others would need extra (...) (22 years ago, 22-Aug-02, to lugnet.trains)
   
        Re: Dark Red in trains (was ...Dark Red LMS 4F 0-6-0 Freight Locomotive) —Steve Bliss
   (...) Huh. There used to be documentation of this (I thought), but I can't find one now. It's pretty simple - when you want to mix two of the colors from 0 to 15 (black, blue, green, teal, red, dark pink, brown, gray, dark gray, light blue, bright (...)
