Bullet Point with quick-fire references, Great! Here goes...

1. New Member Introduction
2. Have a read of FAQs.
3. Welcome to the Forum LivPurple. Be sure to check out the Forum Rules also. ;)

Are you suggesting this as a proposal to Saberforge to do to assist Customer Product Selection like:



Or is it a suggestion for Forum Subscribers to collectively review blade colour comparisons?
It's a valid suggestion, you'll find these comparisons may already exist amongst the pages in the Reviews Section and through the many pages of discussions in Open Topics.

Many will jump at the chance to assist you however the assistance will be more successful if you can be more specific or even have a starting point with where your interests are with intended Colour ownership.

FYI, as a New Member (with recent changes to Protocols) your Posts are screened by a Moderator first before displayed openly. Keep that in mind if time stamps are out of sequence.

Enjoy your time here.

Thanks for that information in regards to new people posting and it having to be screened. It was driving me nutzzzzz!!! I thought there was something wrong with my connection. Good to know. I was close to just keep trying to repost what didn't show up. How long does this screening last? It's kind of annoying if I'm trying to have a bit of a back and forth with someone trying to help me out. I can understand the screening though. When I first came here it was ridiculous with how much SPAM was plaguing the forum.

Take a picture in bright light, blades turned off.

Take a picture in the dark, blades turned off.

What would be the point? I can see a comparison photo of the blades on in the bright light and dark, but I would think photos of the blades turned off would be useless for what you're asking.

You nailed it. SPAM was unwanted and uninvited yet was lingering around like a bad smell. The new security measures (protocol) put in place achieved a great resolution. Credit to Admin.
Think of it as New members on an Interim Permit, driving supervised for a fixed period of time until criteria is satisfied before you can start driving unsupervised. To continue this analogy, this does not mean reckless driving as Admin & Mods still patrol these pages to enforce the rules with assistance from the citizens of this community.
I believe initially the parameter was 20-25 however it may have been reduced to 10. If I find the reference I shall make an edit.

@LivPurple
What I'd like to see is all the blades lined up in one single photo.
On the Main Site you will find this guide which is an ideal starting point. You can also try here within the Forum itself.

Please also remember that video and camera's capturing light will not be a true representation of what is seen in person. Hone in on the colour that calls you and expand from there. Can't decide on just one colour? Go for infinite colour option with a Hero Tier as demonstrated below.

I don't think he knows that all the blades clear lol he probably figured that they were all tinted.

A single photo wouldn't work very well anyway, since the camera might have trouble compensating white balance for every blade.

As OvrcAHst mentioned, the following link is your best bet:

http://saberforge.com/colors/blade-colors

When looking at the photos, don't look at the blade - look at the reflection cast on the table. That will be the closest representation of blade color.

Also, one thing you have to realize, if you have all saber colors lit in one photo some colors might wash out other colors that are lighter.
You give life, You are love.You bring light to the darkness.
You give hope, You restore every heart that is broken.

It's next to impossible to get them all in one single photo with all the blades and have 0 white balance and color issues.

The images are on the site, and plenty of reviews. Cut and paste a few together in Paint or Gimp if you need side by side, just be aware how off a pic can be of a lighted object.

With all the blades in one photo, we would be able to see which ones are brighter, bolder, fainter, etc.

Please note and Remember: These are examples only. Still found within the Forum which begs the question where you're looking. These mock-ups form an approximate indication only and DO NOT represent ALL Saberforge Colours, are Saberforge Colours nor are they an accurate representation. They will not define which is brighter, bolder or fainter. Only you can draw the final conclusion and make the decision with which colour you want.

The best suggestion I can make for you to best determine which colour through your perception is brighter, bolder, fainter is to buy two sabers as a base line. Hero Tier RGBA for one. Quick Connect compatible for the second and in addition to, buy multiple units of LED Modules with Quick Connects in every other colour Saberforge currently makes and supplies.
Then you can take multiple photos of the different colours side by side to the RGBA, cut&paste and create an entirely new image of ALL the colours.

Remember to report back with your findings. B)

I never asked anyone to tell me which blade colors are brighter, bolder, or fainter. I can see that for myself.
11 hours ago on an earlier Post you wrote (well someone with your username):

Perhaps I am the one that is mistaken as since your original Post you have been referring to yourself as 'we' referencing you and your family that is doing the searching. Apparently my error.
Not all the colors are in these photos, but something like this is exactly what I've been searching for!
Agreed, which is why I commented by different font colour for reference recognition,
These mock-ups form an approximate indication only and DO NOT represent ALL Saberforge Colours, are Saberforge Colours nor are they an accurate representation.
Be nice to others and others will be nice to you.
Thank you for your comments. I actually thought I was doing just that by providing input worth a proverbial 3 cents when I could have just settled for 2 cents. However it seems even my 2 cents is dismissed and declined.

Moving forward, I shall correct my ways (thanks to your observations) and try to refrain from assisting where it isn't wanted.

Good luck with your research and I hope you have success with finding your favourite colour.

I don't mean to sound disrespectful or rude whatsoever, Livpurple, but you, and/or your parents, have been emailing customer service on both Etsy and emails nonstop about this "request" and been directed to several different sources of information, and many members here, such as OvrcAHst, have been extremely helpful in getting you MORE answers to this.

As I told (I believe your mother) via email today, it comes to a point where I have to step in and say enough is enough; you, your parents, someone with your username and same email address have been rude and disrespectful via email and now told off forum members as well. This is not acceptable behavior. You have been rude to me directly and to my CSRs.

This is the first, last, and only warning I will give on the subject: drop it, and take your own advice. Be nice to others, and we will be nice back. However, CONSTANTLY pushing for something you have been told cannot be done or is not available in precisely the format you want it is not only rude, it's getting old.

Keep this in mind.

OvrcAHst, thank you for your efforts in helping on this thread. They are appreciated.

My sincerest apologies for any comments that came across negatively. That was never anyone's intention - only to clarify.

When I read "Remember to report back with your findings", it backfired when I reported back. Apparently my responding communicated something offensive to the moderator, so I have deleted my son's request for the two photos, and we have cancelled our Saber Forge order.

I warned him about joining a forum, and now he knows why - it's way too easy to misunderstand the typed word because the reader can only assume the tone and purpose of the writer.

You were very helpful, as were others, so this experience was not a total loss.

Thank you
