You remember I gave some of the old fandom designs a makeover? I've picked up where I left.

Well, at the time, people told me that the correct hull colour of the TOS era is a greenish grey. Well.. hooray for me, because I'm colorblind, especially where greens are concerned.

So, I'd like you to give a second opinion on these colors. Is this about right? Too green? Too grey? Not green at all? [Smile]

My eyes! The colors do nothing!

It is... it is GREEN.

Nah, j/k. [Razz]

Looks alright to me, nice light shades of grey.

It looks fine to me.

If you want to get a good reference, Masao recently did a brand-new 2D render of the Constitution, with some weird shade of greenish-grey.

It looks pretty good -- and certainly a bit different from just about every other fan-made TOS ship image on the net. But I think I like the plain light grey better.

AAAAKKKK! Don't look at my crummy schematics! Those are the old ones with incorrect windows.The color is right, however.

Harry, I don't seem much green in your schematic. What RGB or CMYK are you using?
