So I ordered a Yellow MLS unit with my Shock LE, noticed it it quite different from my other RGB Yellow.

Top is RGB Yellow
Bottom is the Sentinel Yellow MLS (Forum Beta) Color

You will notice the Forum Yellow is more gold in color than the RGB.
The RGB  is a bit more red but still yellow.
I like both for different reasons and they work well on the corresponding hilts but I wanted to show the difference for you all to see.

Now for the big fun.
I also got a Semi Yellow MLS with my first Raven order. It was supposed to be pure orange.
But as you can see it is indeed different.

Top is the new orange MLS I ordered.
Below is the original MLS which looks like it is yellow but a more orange yellow
Second from the bottom is the RGB Yellow
Finally the Sentinel (Forum) Yellow

I actually love all of these.
The Orange Yellow I find is very unique and actually turns out is the perfect color for my Deus Ex Costume
I wanted a color between Yellow and Orange to match the color theme of the game.
But I didn't realize it was so perfect in my first order.
I actually got the orange MLS just to have one with Silver Flash On Clash
The Yellow Orange is a Red Flash On Clash (But this shouldn't effect the color)

What are all of your thoughts on this?
Comments bellow much appreciated!

I love every color shown here! The top two Orange's look like PO and FO, are they not? The RBG yellow looks awesome, I love the darker yellow.

Fantastic comparisons, we should use these as references for when someone get SY and it's a different shade of yellow.

I asked Deep and it seems that colors also vary depending on the Flash on Clash color

Apparently Fire orange does vary depending on the Flash on Clash a lot.
They actually use a different method for Fire Orange with Silver flash on clash. (Top Saber Second Pic)
Then another method with Fire Orange with Red on clash, (Second down from the top, Second pic)

I think that for colors look closer to the original (in my opinion), you may need silver flash on clash, other colors may cause more of a mix depending on how they make the dye.

This is partly why US has changed the Flash on Clash chart, so the mixing with the Flash on Clash color does not occur, either in the main color or while flashing.

Hey SD.  Very informative...as always.

How closely do you see the yellow AV matching SY?  They look a little off in the pix (AV true yellow, SY golden), but most times the lighting biases the camera.

Reason I ask is that I'm considering the yellow AV, silver AV, or unlit AV for my eventual SY Shock LE.

Thanks in advance and, oh yeah, congrats on the raffle!

My FO FoC is BR, with the orange looking more...creamsickle (creamier in person than pic below).   Smiley  I'd have chosen AS, but the chart said nay.  Updated chart?

I don't know if I can tweak it with filters.  If not, I did order QD's.  Grin  Please confirm that top of 2nd pic is FO with AS FoC?

Many thanks!

@Saint

It matches pretty well, but I would say that a darker yellow would be better. I asked for them to try and make it as close as possible. But it still turned out golden. My RGB Yellow is actually a perfect match though, but it is more red.
