brad0131 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 I would like to suggest a darker blue color that matches Southwest Airlines a little better. The blue now is a little too light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burkhard Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Do you have a link to a color on the SWA web site or somewhere else that fits best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad0131 Posted July 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Yes, http://www.w3schools..._colornames.asp , Look at the blue or medium blue on the page. Either of those would be perfect. The color you have now looks like the Royal Blue on that site. Just a tad too light I think. But those 2 look to suit it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burkhard Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Thnaks. Both colors you refer to are true blue with Zero red or green admixture, 0 0 247. Is this really true? The color SWA uses on their web site, as example on the plane for their credit card, is far away from true blue and has (78 116 196) , and when I look at photos at a.net I get the impression there are many aircraft with a mixture like we use until now ( 87 121 216) , but also more blue ones - has there been a silent change recently to use more blue, or is the color they use getting grayer with a little pink fast? When I look at http://www.airliners.net/photo/Southwest-Airlines/Boeing-737-3H4/2135215/M/&sid=076cdd09ce36f1e6b6464270ec913697 as example, I get a color of (49,120,248). More comments, please.

Burkhard Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 I tried a 40 60 240 which is half way between old and pure blue, this would look like this B737_t_SWA4.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad0131 Posted July 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 That looks great man! Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad0131 Posted July 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Like this picture, the plane looks darker. Its a matter of the sun I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad0131 Posted July 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Also, here is another pic of multiple planes. I do find a light blue southwest every once in a while but most I have found are the darker color you created above. I do notice that if you look in the top right area of the pic, you can see the "light blue" effect when the sun directly hits the plane.

Burkhard Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 That is another color than Southwest used for years. Maybe they changed. Neverless I think what I put above is a good compromise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
