HI,

 

I am trying to re-create a colour similar to the one in the attached image, I am aware that the leaves have a light source (similar to foil block) which give the depth but if possible would like to at least get the closest colour whether it be metallic or flat to use for this project. The client has used the words 'opulent aubergine' or 'deep purple orchid'. Can anyone advise the best solution or possible hex, CMYK values to gain the closest match?

 

Many thanks for looking

why not load it into Photoshop (or whatever) and get pointing to the colour you want?

Hi, I did that already but i'm not getting true colours...I have tried to explain to the client that without 'foil block' or similar the effect is difficult to achieve.

Eh? What do you mean when you say you're not getting true colours? Is it a colour you want or a light effect?

It sounds like he wants to get the textured effect of foil?

Pick a texture, change it to black and white, then RGB and overlay the colour? There are probably better ways to do it if you search for some tutorials

Sorry I didn't mean 'True' colours, I can't seem to get the desired shade - do you have any links to lighting effects I could use to re-create the colours? Thanks
