Uhm, so you mean GMK Plum was a success and the final product represented the renders? Literally what Jessica, in this thread just above in a few posts, admitted they ****ed up?
Well, I now understand why you reply the way you do.
You really are arguing just to argue at this point. She's cleared things up in terms of this GB already, and she has already stated what she needed to for Plum. If you don't have faith in her then you can easily request a refund or flip the set. And what does gender have anything to do with our hobby?
At this point you're just throwing a tantrum.
As a Swede (who happens to know that Emir is Swedish as we're in the same discord) it probably makes sense to explain that "he/she" is one of the the correct way to address someone if you don't want to assume gender in Sweden. We simply doesn't have any word for the singular "they" or "their".
So you're basically mistaking his politeness as a personal attack, which probably is the opposite of what he meant, hence him not understanding why you're making such a fuzz over it.
(EDIT: Sorry for continuing the off-topic:ness, btw. But I just couldn't just let it slide as I found it sad how the situation probably arose from a misunderstanding/language barrier issue.)
Speaking of assuming things, I should add in the most important thing here: freaking out over colors in images taken with (what was likely) a cell phone camera, on your monitor/screen that is most likely not calibrated for color is completely stupid.
We have absolutely no idea what those colors look like in real life and are probably doing worse than guessing. Unless you have a properly white-balanced shot and you are looking at it on a color calibrated screen, reserve judgement. THAT is why we put trust in the GB runner. They get to look at it and decide if it matches their vision of the project (and potentially the pantone colors they have on hand).

And in case you feel like trying to throw an appeal to authority or false premise into your argument, I AM in on the buy, so of course I care. I would suspect that most people in this thread are in on the buy. Why else waste time posting here?
I really told myself not to reply, but when people are this dense it's difficult to abstain.
"on your monitor/screen that is most likely not calibrated for color"
You literally don't need a monitor with color, or a monitor at all for that matter, to sample hex and see that the values are SO off that it's on a completely different color scale. What are you even typing? As I wrote about 10 times now it feels like, OF COURSE I have an understanding for camera shots not being accurate, I'm not stupid - but ANYONE given the lighting conditions of that shot would be able to tell that it is enough correct to the point where you can CLEARLY see that the color is on the wrong scale.
Jessica did confirm that she is looking for a desaturated cyan which is indeed according to renders, so there's no point in replying to me any longer. However, I just wish people would understand that the lack of information at the point when samples were posted made me raise concerns. In my head, the concerns were justified, it's way off, and when Jessica types out "I'm looking for a different blue", then of course I replied in order to ensure that it's an actual desaturated cyan this person is after, and after being lynched for raising justified concerns, I did in fact get an answer.
I'm sad it had to go that far to get information that should've been present without anyone voicing their concerns.
We can include ad hominem to the list of your logical fallacies. I tried to help and you called me names. Nice. Your "mathematical" comparison is a joke, when you have no idea of the white balancing on the shot. And no, I don't think that anyone can eyeball a shot and determine if something is accurate enough. Case and point: pictures of my Singa, in different light, neither are color accurate to what I see with my eyes. You tell me which is the accurate one.
Come on now, why don't you just give up and let this die out? You don't even understand the point that I'm trying to get across - why is everyone so set on replying to me without even attempting to read and comprehend what I am actually writing and raising as concerns?
The point of my post was not to bash the specific color per say, claiming that it has the wrong shade or whatever - for this, the photo per say is completely irrelevant. What I reacted to was that Jessica wrote that this person is looking for a different BLUE - that's what I reacted about. She was clear that she is replacing the color, so why would I freak out over it? Did you ask yourself that?
This is not relevant at all, I am not judging the shade of the color - I am judging the whole color scale.
In your example, I can clearly tell that the Singa is the champagne gold one (I think it's called that, didn't follow the GB) and not the red, the blue or the orange one - that is very obvious regardless of the different lighting conditions. Now, is it obvious because it looks so to my eyes? Partially, but I can tell for sure by sampling hex values from both images and matching them to the other photos of singa (in this keyset, it would be the renders of necro) - by that I can clearly tell which color of the singa you got.
So again, I am not questioning the actual color shade, but the color being on a blue scale, and jessica writing that she's looking for another blue. In the render, the accent is not a blue, THAT is why I was concerned. With the lighting conditions provided in the sample, it is very clear that the lighting is good enough to make a safe assumption that it is in fact a baby blue, or blue at least - when it should be on the green scale in reality. Yes?
Is this clear to you now?
