Now thats dazzle.
Crypsis,
when you are in the direct view of main light source you have one bright colour scheme, when the paint is not in direct sight of main light source it has the darker scheme.
it doesn't pulse, mutate, throb, vaccilate like a cuttlefish in a mating/attack display.
You just have a light side and dark side....
I like them!
These were taken by me just revolving camera about my ship whilst by a star...

Weirdly this chap might have a point.
Technically perception of colour is simply a matter of the sensation of radiation on the back our eyeballs. There is no wavelength for pink, it doesn't appear in the rainbow or a prism and much like brown or grey it is simply an expression of the hardware we use to experience radiation. So effectively the experience of colour is subjective and very much based on our own internal use of cues.
For this poor chap colour is very deterministic and mono-experiential. He has limited his sensations to one thing at a time. For other people though the experience of colour can be imagined as a rainbow of sensations. That's why children are happy to see one colour as being for boys and one colour for girls. Correctly educated though they learn that in the adult world things are much more varied.
Each to their own but educate children.
Well, go all the way then

Also how we define the use of colors is abstract and cultural.
Red meaning stop and green meaning go is just something we have defined as humans and started using everywhere to make it a universal "truth". Red = bad, Green = Good.
Fun fact though, the S.O.E. (Special Operations Executive) during WW2 had a rating system for candidates where they used poker chips of different colors to indicate how well a candidate did during different exercises and red was the best performance and indicated that a candidate had done exceptionally well, with yellow being the second color after red.
These days if you got a red mark for an activity then most of us would think that we did poorly rather than doing well. You can see this in the new Netflix show "Churchills Secret Agents - The New Recruits" https://www.netflix.com/title/80195811
Yeah, you didn't really manage that did you?
The issue with their showcase videos is that they are really confusing. It would look like it is something that you can turn on/off whenever you want when it is actually quite different:
I was looking for some videos on Youtube to have a better idea of what it was about but couldn't find any. Thanks for the explanation.
I was expecting it to respond to the surroundings and try to "blend-in" with shapes and shadow but I have not seen any sign of it doing that - though I have not done much investigating of it.

I heard a radio series about colour ages ago, where they talked about those kinds of things; for example how blue usually represents sadness, except in Germany where apparently it represents drunk.
oh look, some noob in the art dept has discovered that the in-game shaders let you play silly beggars with the specular maps. Try a real challenge - a black paint job with a starlings-wing iridescence that doesn't look dreadful. Hint: Feed a fractal into the specular tint channels to get the right iridescence color profile and then get the specular exponent, the fresnel factor and the response to ambient exactly right or it will look like you drew it with crayons. Have fun.
This was used at Camp X also.Well, go all the way then

Yeah, I was hoping for something like that too so, for example, if you were sitting half in front of a star, for example, half your ship would be light and the other half would be dark.
Not quite as complex as I was hoping for but I'll probably still buy one for my stealth-Cobra... if they ever release them for it.
These are looking pretty good but wouldn't it be grand to manually toggle the lighting effect, or adjust its brightness?
And then a bunch of dangerous animals decided to follow our colour scheme?
Red is a danger sign in nature.
Green is the colour of foliage and psychologically relaxing for us
These things pre-date us culturally. Although the nuances of colour in society are generally a cultural thing,, some of the basic rules are hard-wired into us.
So....without wanting to sound at all sexist: Pink is for girls and girls like handbags and shoes?

Is this a serious question?
I'm a man, 100% hetero and I like pink (sometimes and as ship paintings).
Some of her back catalogue is good but I didn't enjoy much of her "Beautiful Trauma" album.

Pink used to be the color associated with boys, and light blue for girls. At one point it flipped. It's really all just culturally subjective.
I'd love to have some hot pink thrown into the paintjobs. Put it in full "Outrun" mode and I'll be in heaven.
I haven't bought any of these .... but I might be tempted by a Kryptic Krait [money]
