Centipede controlpanel - search for right colors
« on: March 10, 2004, 05:49:30 am »
I know there is no perfect way to find out. (unless someone has a Pantone-colortable and a real Centipede-controlpanel)

I've several pictures which show all different styles of e.g. red, sometimes a intense red, sometimes with an orange tint.

Has anyone a picture which looks close to an original Centipede-panel? I'm currently adjusting my cpo-printout and want to get as close as possible with my possibilities.

Are you using the vectorized Control Panel overlay I made?  I used a lot of different reference images when I choose the colors I used.  I used not only photographs (which obviously vary a lot) but I also used other original centipede artwork, since they all use the same color scheme.

Yep, I'm using the one you made! :D

I've experimented with colors this evening, and guess I'm mostly done.

It appears to me that the blue background should be much much darker - I've some pictures including photos in an arcadebook showing it as very dark blue.
