Nah, for what it's worth - I spent 20 minutes cross-checking that color to an existing Hyper Blue photo in similar light.

The trick was reducing the original white paint to the same darkness as hyper blue (when the color is gone). Adjusting brightness/contrast will change the apparent gloss....then I apply the base color. That's the simple approach.

To get a little fancier...after all that, apply a color filter roughly equal to the ambient light (warm, cool) to give the bright spots a "glow". Finally, adjust the saturation and hue of the base color to overcome the new filter's effects.

Looks good! Thanks for contributing to the forum, I know a ton of people really appreciate it. Especially those that are just visiting and viewing.

I don't have the newest version of PS, but some conversions I do require many...many layers. Which is why I don't do mass color swaps anymore. I just don't have the time!

Man that HBM is freaking awesome. The more and more I see this color the more I'm glad I picked it.

I am torn between the two, black or blue. I really like black though. Looks so menacing
