Hi guys, i'm hoping those of you with a better knowledge of colours can help me with this one.

Posted Image

This is the colour yellow I want to go for. But, unfortunately i made it in photoshop, so have no way of knowing if it;s an actual colour. Could anyone please tell me which yellow I should use to get a colour as similar as possible to this one?


Thanks chaps!

No way did you do that in PhotoShop mate.

closest is probably SnapDragon Yellow (BMC). Or a Fiat Broom Yellow.

That looks like it has a tiny bit more red in than my yellow.

Yep, just took a picture sent to me by a friend and played with the hue/saturation. It was already a pale yellow so it wasn't too much tweaking!

Cheers for the suggestions.

That's more like it I thought it was already yellow, you just upped the saturation. I can believe that now lol.

Best bet would be to go into a car sprayers and ask to look at colour chips.

Thanks guys! I went down to halfords today and bought some Daytona yellow. The choice was pretty much made for me since the giant slogan behind the sales assistant declaring ANY COLOUR, ANY CAR!! apparently didn't cover yellow. Daytona was the only one they were able to mix.

Don't I know it! My last yellow mini spent most of the summer being humped by bees! They were obviously chubby chasers, going for the bigger woman.
