Need some help with yellow.

[VR Jay Le Chardon]

From IRL experience of dealing with cat machinery I can tell you that "CAT Yellow" is actually a sandy colour,not a vibrant yellow, if available for the ships you use for mining, to make them more like real life plant they'd need to be more like "Machanist" paint jobs than "Vibrant Yellow"

You can see the mustardy/sadny tones of the cat yellow in the cap of the aerosol compared against the straight up yellow on the label...

Yep, that's what I thought too.

Definitely going for "Military Earth Yellow" for all my mining ships.
That "Mechanist" paint for the T9 looks about right, and suitably "industrial", but I want matching paintjobs for my AspX, Python and T10 mining ships so (unless I'm mistaken) the Mil Yellow is about the only choice.

Or full stealth with the stealthy matt black paints also available today...


...probably not best for ice rings though, just saying.
