TOPIC: Custom Colors?

In this video ---> <---
Philip says that Amber is made using 4 amber dies and Blood orange is made by using 2 amber dies and 2 red dies.

My question is if it's possible to make a color that has 3 amber dies and 1 red die because i want something between those colors.

Thanks

You might want to email Justin at the customs shop and ask him (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ).

This would lead me to believe that they can, but I'd check with SF first. This question might go to sales or it might go to customs; I can't really tell in this case.

I believe this is a custom shop request. A user by the name of ron11dot3 had a custom crossguard made a few months ago along with a custom "neon red" LED using red and red orange. https://saberforgeforum.com/forum/open-topics/2050-custom-zealot-with-12w-neon-red#23568

Wonder how visibly different it would be from amber and blood orange. Would be cool to compare all three.

I'd personally love to see what 3 amber and 1 green would look like.

i asked this question about a month ago and the response i got was "The color options we have available are listed in the drop down menu. If it's not on there, we are not able to do it at this time."

Except for the Hero tier. There is full RGB slider modifications available. SF pre sets the 8 slots with 8 colors but you can customize those settings with the sliders. There is a youtube video somewhere of someone doing it, thats how I know.

Sliders? What? You twist the hilt to toggle between the different colours.

I think he's talking about the sliders available after you've jacked your SD card in your computer and are using the Spark Color Configuration Editor. You can use that to custom set your 9 light banks using 4 sliders of values from 0-255, and then once it's back in your saber you toggle between by twisting the saber on its axis. You can always use the on board editor to change the colors, but fine tuning in the configuration editor is much easier and more precise. You can also set your blaster deflect and clash colors there... not sure if you can do that using the on-board editor.

that is what I was referring to.

Ah! That's so cool. I didn't realize there was a configuration editor. I thought it was 8 hard-coded colours. That's so much cooler.

If SF updates from the spark color to the spark color 2, you can edit the colors without having to remove the SD card. There is an options menu that can be entered with a button sequence.

Yeah, you just have to hold the Aux button when pulling the kill key (SF uses the Spark Color 2). I can see the benefits of seeing the color mixing right before you, but IMO the menu navigation is a bit slow when changing multiple fonts and it's more worth it to pull the SD card.

Hey what kind of blue would go well mixing with purple??

I am planning to make my next saber contain purple with a type of blue that I can't decided which style.

The following info is based in the assumption that you are getting a hero tier saber with 2 blade colors that mix for a 3rd

Well the purple LED is made with a 1:1 ratio of royal blue and red dies (1 of each in a 6w, 2 of each in a 12w). So if you were to go with purple for one of your colors and deep blue (made of all royal blue dies) for the other, your mixed color would be indigo (3 royal blue dies and 1 red die).

Sounds good!

Well, you'd have to be a little careful in this case. Let's think of it like 4 die "spaces." To mix with purple, two slots are reserved for a Royal Blue and a Red die. Your options for blues would be:

Deep Blue (2 Royal Blue)
Medium Blue (1 Royal Blue, 1 Blue)
Light Blue (2 Blue)

You can also add the semi-blues available from 2 die:

Arctic Blue (1 Blue, 1 Green)
Cyan (1 Royal Blue, 1 Green)

Other colors worth noting:

Pink (Blue, Red)
Yellow (Green, Red)
White (Red, Blue, Green)

That leaves you with the following:

3 Royal Blue, 1 Red (Indigo-ish)
2 Royal Blue, 1 Blue, 1 Red (A more unsaturated [lighter] Indigo)
1 Royal Blue, 2 Blue, 1 Red (An even more unsaturated Indigo)
1 Royal Blue, 1 Blue, 1 Green, 1 Red (A bluish white)
2 Royal Blue, 1 Green, 1 Red (A more saturated bluish white)

Color conclusions based on this LED chromacity diagram. The closer to the center you go, the more unsaturated the color will be:

I am sorry but that's a pretty awesome graph, thanks Snakeeyz. They should bring back Mr Wizard with light sabers.

Deep Blue seems to be the best option. Then again, maybe I need to see this visually to properly decide how they would look together.
