Most color true filament?

[MalcTheOracle]

Those are very different to me.

The left one has yellow in the mix, as I mentioned before.

@MalcTheOracle

Earlier this year, my previous supplier of Red filament ran out of stock. Everyone else I went to sold red, but, their red had yellow mixed in, so it was a dark orange. It looks red from a distance, but, up close, you can tell there is yellow in the mix.

@Olias

So to the unaided eye, wouldn’t both of these colors be called red?

I only have one eye that functions and it only works around 75%, I can easily tell the difference. When I cover up the one on the right, the one on the left looks orange.

@Rekindle5932

The one on the left definitely looks orange to me.

To me also.

@Olias

I was actually being facetious and trying to be light-hearted

Seriously, well, I am not removing my quote form you earlier, I just will not, and you can’t make me!

@Olias

This is why I prefer RGB

RGB is an additive colour spectrum, you add colour to black to create the colours.

2D and 3D printing uses the CYMK model, which is a subtractive colour system, meaning you take something away to generate a colour.

@MalcTheOracle

It would be great if a uniform standard defined the mixes of all colours and granted them universal names, which all decent suppliers agreed to. Business doesn’t do that though.

At the very least, if you are selling a red filament, don’t drop yellow in the mix!!!

There’s a dress somewhere that needs its color identified…

(The dress - Wikipedia)

I’ve got a little red/green color blindness and I see one ghost as having slightly darker red but they look almost identical to me.

Ok. Well then I will take that under advisement.

Believe me, having worked on may a project including getting into a pissing contest with FAA air traffic controllers vs documentation vs what’s on screen, I fully appreciate the differences between subtractive and additive color spaces.

But I stand by my original comment. I still prefer the elegant simplicity of RGB. And besides, at least I can spell color correctly, you hopeless Brit.

I use both and I also have Alpha in my aRGB.

You assume I am a Brit, simply because I spell colour correctly and the hundred times I have mentioned it here in the forum, you are guessing at best. I could be an Australian.

Remember, we do not take ‘you’ out of anything! Our wheels never get tired, we never get the 'ell out of anywhere, but then we are not quarrelling.

My science color picker says
Kingroon : RGB (194, 31, 4)
Colorfabb : RGB (225 ,14 , 12 )

[KanneKaffe]

I also had Kingroon once. I can therefore confirm that this red is really very weak, As someone else has already written, it is more likely to turn into organge. Other colours from Kingroon are not much better either. I had several of them in yellow, green, red etc.

[MalcTheOracle]

I have just received a spool of Anycubic Pantone filament.

It looks great, I assume it looks identical to the Pantone colour it was based on.

It is a premium price, I didn’t pay for it as they gave it to me for free (money from a contest win).
