Before it gets stickied, can Sciggs please clarify if the official and forum colour codes listed in his post are his best guesses/approximations, or if they are actual presets from US as distributed with Emerald sabers?
It's a great post either way, but I know I'm obsessive enough about stuff like this that I'd like to know for sure.

This is great. Thanks! I had been hoping to find this information. My first purchase was a dark omen with emerald driver and I hoping to use it be able to see all the standard color options in real life. That will make choosing a color for future purchases much easier.

Neither the dark nor the light, but the grey.

These are my best guesses/approximations (though I did do a lot of research, if that helps)

Thanks Sciggs. As I said, it's a great post anyway. I'd just like to see more Emerald Saber owners recording the presents before they begin changing things around. I think if US were going to provide the reference list for people to use with Emerald, then they would probably have done so by now.

I honestly just made it 'cause I was bored, and plus more for my own odd list of colors rather than the presets. They're there for light reference more than anything else.

The whole beauty of the Emerald Driver is that our interpretation of Sentinel Yellow or Bane's Heart or Hot Pink or whatever may be different from yours and with this new driver we can all be right and everyone can set the color to look exactly as they envision it.

Hi Deep, thanks for posting in.
I think the emerald driver gives people unlimited opportunity to tweak the colours so they can have their saber exactly how they like it. But I still think it would be great to be able to set your saber the way it would appear if you ordered that colour instead of something else.
I doubt you ship them with random-ish values each time someone orders an Emerald SY, BH or HP, etc.
Anyway, I think I'm going to have to enlist some help in finding RGB codes for some of the other colours. I think three Emeralds is more than enough for now... depending on what comes out in the future of course.

The fabricating technician just eyeballs it for any mixed colors. No values have ever been set internally and never will be. I think it is cool for you guys to share your settings on the forums though. That actually exactly how we hoped you guys would come up with your favorite settings.

Speaking of fun settings.. Has anyone experimented with the colours and timings to create a 'beating heart' effect for their sabre? Maybe a long BR, with a quick transition to a darker red and back again?
Matched with a custom heartbeat sound for the idle, I think it could be quite effective. Especially if you used a different shade of red and faster transition for the lockup - perhaps with a racing heartbeat sound to go with it? If I were going to create a lightsaber version of Elric's Stormbringer, that's probably how I'd go about it.
Anyone have any other ideas for using pulse & lockup in non-standard ways?

Can you post the Twilight Blue and Blood Red possibly? They both seem interesting and awesome. I'd like to see a natural Blood Red over a Lee filter. The Lime Green looks interesting too same with the Moss.

They all look great. I tried all of them out the night I got my sabers. The other thing I tried (after reading the threads about black sabers) is to bring R & G to 0, and have the blue set really low, like about 7. It looks so dark it almost appears purple. Okay, I've got my 'heartbeat' settings for anyone interested in tweaking them. Timing is set to 0.1, 0.3, 0.1, 1.0, using R100 and R255.

You mean pictures right? The thing is, my camera doesn't pick up the subtle differences that an eye can pick up. To my camera, green, light green, moss green, lime green, forest green, etc all look like the same color. I could try to find an approximate corresponding color on paint I suppose?

As poorly as a cell phone camera is at short range when trying to pickup the variations in colour (in some cases just plain overriding the camera lens), here's a video of the complete Scigg's Colour Codes List.. in order and with all the lost subtle tones that really only can be picked up by the eye, not the camera: http://youtu.be/3Po0bvGcftoOne thing that seems to help is a look at the white cloth set behind the blade in each pic. That colour is a bit closer to the true tone which the eye catches.
