[IBC] Tori Gate Colour
Hi Dancing Waters.
I think you are asking about the color wheel mix-- perhaps the hex or CMGY or RBG ratios. I googled it thinking it might be a piece of cake. The first site warned: ---- RE' Color... Please be aware that the colors you see on your screen may vary slightly from what their true colors are. There are several factors that influence this discrepancy; what computer you use (Windows-based are generally about 10% darker than Macs), what monitor you use, and your individual settings all affect the representation of colors you see on your screen. ----- I wouldn't be overly concerned that Macs see color differently... but the Mac user might if you are looking for internet publication. The next site with Vermillion (Chinese red) color was: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconVall...ompare.html... just run youir cursor over the name Vermillion and the background goes RED. This is about the color refinished vermillion furniture (also the color of torii gates) are newly painted by Japanese restorers. Old fading vermillion however is a warm orange-color (as you have noted) and on old torii gates it is often the original color with wood now peeking through. Trying, again: http://html-color-codes.com/rgb.html... This color chart by VisiBone comes closest at RGB 255-51-0, & you can play with colors starting there to mellow it. For example, 255-102-0 looks closer to "old vermillion" than 255-102-51 on the chart. Hope that helps.
