Guys,

What RGB values do you use for when you're drawing and shading TOS-era ships? I very much appreciate any help

If you mean the green/grey hull colour then the RGB value is R-176 G-191 B-189. Or if you perfer HTML: #b0bfbd.
For the shading, it depends on what you want to achieve (light, shade, midtone) but a basic "Starfleet Green" to white gradient is a good place to start.

That's the same base color as I use. I usually have the lightest highlight at about 5% of the base color and 95% white and go almost to black for the deepest shadows.

My base color is something like R-192 G-198 B-198. It's very close to what Rev and Masao use (especially to a red-green colorblind person like me [Razz] ).

I usually just start out with greys, and then add one click of 'Ocean Green' (in CorelDRAW) to the entire gradient (except white components; they stay white).

Thanks guys!

Harry, I have the same problem, which is why I don't feel comfortable incorporating more than spot colors in my illustrations.
