Nice to see that old milky/pale green CATHAY PACIFIC shade reproduced pretty much correcty. A lot of folk screw-up on that pasrticular detail and end up making it look too much of a true green shade. NICELY DONE Ben !  Mark C BOG/CO |

I took a sample of the green from Michael Verlin's textures as a reference to base my own textures on, and incorporating some fresh new bare metal work in this texture release also.

Actually .... I thought Michael's green might have been a bit too rich, but, judging from your screenshots, and the above samples you've provided, what you've presented there is about "SPOT ON". That CATHAY PACIFIC green towards the 1980's at least became a soft almost milky green shade .... which as I said above is about what you've presented. "IF" Michael's green is richer .... then maybe he was basing it on an earlier livery version .... I don't know !  Mark C BOG/CO |

It always looks different in the sim....... Sky environment packages can make the textures look too bright or too dark sometimes..........

Very nice repaint!
All this talk of Cathay Pacific greens has reminded me that I need a bit of help on that front. Is the green in your repaint the same as that used in the mid 80s? Im currently doing a Cathay Tristar repaint for AI circa mid 80s and im not completely happy with the green so far. If its the same green I could sure use some RGB values.

Hi Elliott
I'm pretty certain that was a more 'greener' green and not this shade...........

Seeing the 747 at LHR I would agree with Ben and say it became more of a green colour.

I spent a lot of time photographing CATHAY B747-200's & -400's ("THE GREEN LATRINE's" .... as we called the green striped livery prior to the current version) at AKL right throughout the 1980's .... and eventually worked my way through the entire fleet. I can confirm the green shade employed by CATHAY (fleetwide) during the 1980's era is pretty close to what Ben's produced above .... which is what prompted me to first comment along these lines. It wasn't a true green .... like Brunwick Green or anything richer. It was a kind of a milky/green shade. Most period photographs will always reveal this colour as a true green even Brunwick Green shade .... because that's how it always seems to reproduce in colour prints etc. What the human eye percieves .... versus the way colours reproduce in photography are often quite different. TRUST ME ON THIS ! Mark |

That's pretty close to what Ben's already showing .... which I'm quite comfortable with .... bearing in mind things like video card issues (etc) which can often naturally change the way things look within FS and between different PC systems too. I just wish I could give you the precise Federal Standard colour/shade number Mark C AKL/NZ |
