Signature Curious??

[Deleted member 50194]

i like looking into the transition between green and blue, thats where all the good stuff is. home to some very pretty colors. i envy anyone who has 5 different wavelengths between 505-465 partially because im too poor to afford any of those right now
signatures like Zraffleticket's are basically laser p*rn

I notice that also, some of the blue colors used for sigs are almost impossible to see when using the dark gray/black background.
I didn't know that you could see them beter when they were highlighted though, thanks for the tip Jerry!

No problem BTG...

Most of the time I don't even look at what lasers people show in their signature, but if I see yellow in the mix, I will then look closer. Bob, I don't have a yellow YET.. I found that photo through a google search, it was in an old post here.

Eracoy, is this what you're thinking of? This is what I use to fine tune the colors of the wavelengths shown in my sig., it lets you change colors just enough between the close wavelengths to make it noticable.

I'm not worried about finding the color for a specific wavelength. What I haven't been able to do yet is put in an exact color. I have so far had to use the color choices available in the vBulletin editor. Do you use a html tag to color it? If so, could you give me an example of a way that works on this site? I would love to accurately represent them.

What I do, is find a representative color on that site to match the color that I want my sig wavelength color to be, for instance, the 515nm Ehgemus laser in my sig. uses a color that I found that looks good to me, and it fits in with my other existing sig. entries.
It isn't neccessarily the actual 515nm color; the particular code that I used for my 515nm sig. was "00b2ff". (Not sure what wavelength it corresponds to anymore, but it doesn't really matter).
I make my sig. with any regular color choice from vBulletin editor, such as the "black", and then just replace "black" with 00b2ff

Thanks a bunch! Now that won't be bothering me.

 

[BowtieGuy]

Hey Eracoy, I just noticed, your new sig. is looking real good!

I see your advice worked well, Jeff. Might have to try it myself. :thanks:

 

[BowtieGuy]

I like to use it because it allows for slight color graduations when you have wavelengths that are only a few nm apart, or wavelengths that don't correspond to the few options available with the vBulletin color choices.

 

[CynicalBrad]

My eyes always jump to exotics. That and stuff close to the 495 to 500 range.

 

[Eracoy]

I definitely like it better now than when I was using "dark teal" or whatever. And I agree, the slight color graduations are exactly the thing you need to represent full-saturation rainbow colors.

I don't really go by color. Usually I look first at the wavelengths that I don't have, so the yellows/oranges or other exotics.
Now that the 470nm-520nm gap is closing there are less rare wavelengths in that range.
