Title: A shade of red...
Post by: Wolf Knight on October 12, 2011, 16:40:59
Ok, I'm either in a bad mood, or I go through a dry imagination season or I cant tell colours  :-[  :'( ... Please, anyone who is willing to help, have a look at the next pic:

(http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x335/Baldthar/what_colour.jpg)

How do you describe the red colour on the pair of legs? Its from the k4811 - Wolf Knight Leader, black hair, red trousers (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=k4811) and its the same red as the torso from 30 13 0470 - Siege Commander (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30%2013%200470) the reversed torso is just there to give you the idea that the legs are a darker red than the regular red playmobil uses... And the final milion-euro question (which no, I don't have to give  :-[) is: Do you know of a torso that is the same red colour as these pair of legs?

Thank you for your help and trouble in advance  :)

i have both these legs and the siege commander... and in person they look like the same maroon color...  :)

there is a pirate captain with the same color torso as well... and the blue mystery fi?ure knight has the same color underneath for torso and arms

I'd say they were red-brown or brown-red.  They certainly aren't  a pure red.

This dark red I call Burgundy. The mongol warrior has a torso matching this shade. The burgundy knight from the christmas egg too, but he has a Silver printing on top (and his armored arms are just...magnificent!)

I thought of burgundy too! but burgundy looks more open. I also thought of that easter egg knight but I only have one and treasure him a lot  :love:

Oh! And the samurai too, has a matching torso! His legs have anthracit armor, though, and an ugly yellow printing I'm always happy to erase. >:D >:D (Don't like the guy a lot...)

I wish I can see like you do :P then customising would be a lot easier ;D....so many shades of green etc 8}
...isnt it easier for PM to have maybe just 2 shades red/brown/green/blue etc (I bet the kids or their shopping parents wont mind/even notice...ok, I wont talk about LEGO)

It would be nice if they would just take a box of 16 crayons and say... you know what... we can get all our variety out of these colors... and nothing will look really weird.  :lol: BASIC COLORS HOORAH!!!  ;D

That would certainly help a lot....

It would help if they even print the same heraldy in different colour shield ... surely this guy cannot hold a light grey shield  ::)  but I think Arnaud can help us with that  ;D
