I will list my preferences in order, but… I do like them all as long as they look like the pics and not the washed out colors of the orange and green samples posted in the LT1 thread.
1. Olive (As long as it is anodized and not just flat paint or coating)
2. Orange
3. Blue
4. Red
5. Green
6. Flat dark earth
7. Sand
8. Black
I think all of these colors are great. On a scale from 1-10 I think they all fall between 8-10 which is . These renderings are rich looking with deep colors. As long as the final versions are not washed out all is GOOOD.
The first 5 on my list are chosen primarily because they ARE anodized and not just flat looking paint or a powder coating. The rich color and toughness of hard anodizing are hard to beat. The flat color of the the dark earth is flat for a reason and has it’s appeal as such.
I got a bunch of those waterproof “pill containers” from AX to hold loose doodads, and while I didn’t think I’d like the orange from the pix and only got one for completeness, when I got it I was wowed. It was the color of (if anyone remembers ’em) Charms candy. Not quite rust, but that deep deep rich orange.
Do we know which color(s) are more durable/harder? I’m good with black, flat dark earth (voted for), or olive drab. Also, are they all anodized or are some painted/coated? Either way, I’m excited to get the LT1 once “batch 2” becomes available.
For me i would want something as easy to find in the dark.
The human eye is most sensitive in the dark to light around 507nM wavelength. I’m not familiar enough with Pantone colours to know how to convert nM to pantone.
If the orange was a true blaze Orange, that would be my no-brainer pick. The color shown seems a little muted or rusty colored compared to a hunters vest for example.
But Orange, Coleman Green, and Blue are my choices.
I don’t think the colours in the renderings are very precise. If you look up ‘Pantone 21’, you’ll see a number of different colours, from the more yellowish one in the image to a more deep and reddish colour. The Pantone website itself shows a darker and more rich hue, but without a calibrated monitor it’s going to be difficult to tell exactly what it’s going to look like in real life.
