Jediseth - You've probably heard us say this before, but the choice comes down to this: How much are you going to use Adegan Silver as a main blade color?
If the answer is "Some " to "Often", then you want RGBW.
If the answer is "almost Never" to "Never", you definitely want RGBA.
I haven't been able to color mix an Adegan Silver on RGBA that is as nice as a White LED no matter how hard I've tried. It is perfectly fine, however, for FOC.
But the Amber die does give you MUCH richer colors in the Red through Yellow mix spectrum.
Just mixing Red & Green seems a bit . . . I don't know, Neon-y or something to me.
Adding Amber makes it a lot WARMER. Much nicer tone.
In particular, I've always loved this color I call Gold using RGA @100%:
http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=24513.msg367833#msg367833To my eyes, that looks a lot nicer than the standard R+G Sentinel Yellows you see on here.
That's my opinion, anyway! Best wishes on your final choice!
Lord Canterbury -
Thank you for the excellent RGBA vs. RGBW distinction. I am plotting my way towards a Diamond saber - likely an Emperor's Hand or Guardian - which will be primarily Yellow/Gold, Green, or Blue depending on what is in my off-hand (if anything). Previously I had defaulted to RGBW in my mind, as I figured that white FOC was the best option for numerous colors. However, as I do not intend to use a silver blade at all, I am reversing course now, and definitely going with RGBA after seeing your pic of a brilliant gold and the descriptions you gave.
Thanks!!!
