Preserved Topic: Seagreen color??? (Page 1 of 1)

I have a client who wants a good seagreen color for a background. Any tips for color to use here??

I guess it should be blue with a hint of green, but finding the right one aint easy

Help appreciated

uh.
why don't you open up PS and just open up the color picker....
you'd definately find what you are looking for.

hehe Im doing that, but as soon as I narrow it down to one simple color they dont look that great anymore...

Well... it's up to you man.

Don't hold up a shirt to us and ask which color on it we like more..... just buy the one you like.

I dont think you really understood what I was asking for here. *WHAT* is seagreen? Is it More blue than green? Is it more green than blue?

I repeat again, what is seagreen?

Ehm. Yes. Seagreen would be some kind of teal color, hex code #009999 or somewhere there.

Well, that also depends. What type of sea? Pacific (more blue). Carribbian (more green). I mean, do you (or your client) have an Idea of what shade of sea green? I would suggest you find one shade of 'seagreen' and then produce the analoguos colors for that shade. Then you'll have more choice. Hope that helped.

kinda like the color of this ---->

seafoam green Danelectro

Jason

Ooooooh...a Danelectro! Pretty! I'm thinking about going for one of those PRS babys, I read that PRS and Santana are doing a "light edition" for us normal peeps
Btw, aren't Slime's Slimies seagreen?

I have a Seafoam green Schecter Telecaster that is a bit greener than the Dan Electro. Every guitar manufacturer that has ever produced a Seafoam green has had their own idea as to what the color actually is. Suffice to say, it lays somewhere between green and blue.

I think its ultimately a matter of taste. While pure White is definitely 255 255 255 (#FFFFFF), Seafoam green is ??????

Maybe Fender should be held up as the standard since the company most certainly popularized the color in the first place.

There is a small swatch down on the lower right. They are calling it Surf Green now. Did they change the name at some point or is my memory failing?

P.S. I think the slimies are Teal (but leaning a bit more towards blue). Another one of those subjective colors.

One of my favorite artists, Eugene Garin, painted beautiful seascapes... I found a pic of one of them, it has some beautiful shades you might want to consider... There are more at the Simic Gallery's website.
