will this color match arctic cat green?

[redbull660]

I have had some requests to powder coat some arctic cat snowmobile parts in green. Will this color match, I dont have an arctic cat to see the color so I was wondering if some of you could help me out. Does this look like the color, thanks.

just in the nature of digital cameras (white balance) and screen rendition/ calibration, I would NOT go by a picture for something you're wanting to match.

From here (screen is calibrated, but I can't speak for your camera) it looks like it would match the darker/ more luminescent HCR green, but not the green that would be on an M.

The difference in how your camera can produce color in different lights though, can be huge, I'd try to find a way to get a sample, or find someone nearby who can help. (if it's a customer you care about that is!)

(edit: just went to look at the HCR closer, that color (yours) is deeper & lighter in tone than the HCR also.

Ya im not sure what to think of it. I think a lime green is probably more closer to a match.

What I think of as lime woudn't be, but I could be off on that.

FYI there's 3 greens, M green, HCR green, and 2011 LE green (60's barracuda green)

tough to tell the difference between those two on screen (to me anyhow)

I got some of that same dormant green powder from powderbythepound.com. I shot it over a silver substrait (would have looked better over something with more luster) and it didnt turn out too bad, I don't know if its a perfect match to ac green but it was close. Buy a pound of it and try some test pieces.
