Even more to see here (now)

Am I the only one who thought they were two entirely different cases/assemblies?

Nope, I was also put off by the white balance shenanigans and thought they were two different colours. I mean, technically they were on my screen, but that red table explains why the white balance is off. To take a proper photo you ought to reprocess them and find something that should be grey and colourise it based on that, but I can understand why ED wanted to get the news out more easily than fettling each photo individually.

Those are the colors we ordered https://www.pantone.com/color-finde...GHSFkclHtbCxVCUF51B3KjqxRWZuET324f6yhflDxhcyk , https://www.pantone.com/color-finde...vzwDwndQC0hIIyKN9xCr80c8dyr91Saao_J8g8dzoYe0g and https://www.pantone.com/color-finde...vzwDwndQC0hIIyKN9xCr80c8dyr91Saao_J8g8dzoYe0g

No default black as has been mentioned before?

 

[Eight Bit]

And no C64 beige / off-white..

 

[Bosbeetle]

just a quick question are these : http://projects.goldelico.com/p/gta04-kernel/issues/label/1799/open/

issues that are still around for the kernel intended to package with the pyra or just problems that arrised (again) on the newer kernels?

 

[EvilDragon]

Issues that are still around and not fixed yet.

Hmm I wish I could help, but I can't.

Black is not a special color, pellet for that are readily available.
These are special mixtures I wanted to try and see how they look like. They'll be custom mixed for us.

The dark grey is a very dark one though, it looks almost black. I want to see whether it looks better than standard black or not.

Will we be able to see different colors at GamesCom? And will you already be there on Wednesday, 21st?

We will be there on first day and I'll try to get some colors there,yes.

Well actually, a "90s Hi-Fi" matte black/dark grey would probably look great. It'd be missing golden "AUTO-REVERSE" and "BASS REFLEX" labels though

And no C64 beige / off-white..

lalala....
my second pyra will be in beige, for now i'm verry ok with the dark grey we have (soon).
it looks a bit like the color of my verry own first breadbox that was pretty grey'ish, only darker now. i like it.

in the past, some people on these forums have expressed willingness to take mixed-color cases (e.g. the "bad ones" between one color and the next). if they are structurally fine, they might even be collector's items . do you typically run the system in the same way (i.e. with all the same parameters) so that the mixed color cases turn out ok but just weird colors, or do you try and flush the system faster with some other parameters?

A curiosity I had about the plastics process...

If you were to take a bunch of random colored leftover pellets, mix them up (randomize) then inject the result through the machine into the mold, would the resulting plastic piece be a crazy pattern of colors or would it all just blend down to grey (or whatever the norm of the inputs)?

It would blend down to black / grey.

These mixtures only work if you have multiple injection points with multiple feeders.

So to rephrase ible's question (which doesn't seem to have been answered yet) is changing colours from red to blue without flushing the machine something that could or would be done, and if so, would doing result in a limited number of cases being produced in various shades of purple?

ED has previously suggested that mixing of plastics is a subtractive colour process. If the inputs were pure red and pure blue then the mix should be black, although in practice most of the colours we use aren't primary like that, but still I'd expect a very dark result. You could only really expect a visible purple if the red and blue that went in were significantly purple in of themselves to start with.

I make the combination of the two different colours by subtraction to result in a colour that has RGB values of 46, 21, 15.

I make that this colour:

Edit: Looks basically black if you're using a light theme. On my browser at least, if I right click it and select view image it opens in a new tab with a dark background showing it to be a muddy red. In the real world, it's probably closer to the light background sense, as it's hard to get that much contrast between a well lit pyra and it's backdrop.

I'd also like to see a 50-50 mixup of black and grey. Might do a nice charcoal.

I will buy transparent if it is available.

Wasnt the Intention of these Modular Design that you dont need a second Pyra?? Only a Screwdriver, a diverent CPU Board..
But every bought Pyra is good

I think im fine whit the Black Color for my Pyra

I see a red pyra and i want to paint it black ..

 

[azouls]

just to make this sure as ED allready mantion it .Black and white arent special colors that we have to order. Is something that i allready have. Seccondary we have to understand how the colors works in plastic. Is the similar way if you put 3 deferend colors in a bucket with water , At the start the colors arent mixed but after that the 3 colors will compined as one . To produce an item with 2 or 3 deferend colors we need to have and injection that does 2 or 3 feedings at the same time . Also the mold needs to be created for that perpuse . I dont have this kind of injection machine and also the molds arent created for that machines . So the only way i can get that effect is a very small and expensive quantity (talking about 5-10 items)

Can you get chameleon paint type pellets? or do they not work that way? (the ones where it changes colour on the reflection of light)

Cool, that would likely end all (okay, most) arguments about what colour it should be
