MidichIorian Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Maybe they meant Blood Orange. Hahahaha!! ACE! But yeah, it doesnt look particulary blood red. A good comparison would be to say that it looks to that other orange CC crystal what the razer crystal looks compared to the rakghoul event crystal, slightly dull'er but basically the same.

My issue with it is it's called Blood Red but the coloring on it doesn't match the name and since Red is my favorite color, I feel strongly about it.

TechbotAlpha Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 This only confirms my suspicion, based upon the godawfl choice in dyes, that the Cartel market colour artist is actually colour blind. Or just flunked colour theory entirely...¬_¬ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glumish Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) Surprisingly enough it's a pretty hard task for me to find the color 'blood red' online. But I'm pretty sure my blood has never looked orange. If it did that would be pretty worrying. edit: http://desktoppub.about.com/od/choosingcolors/f/What-Color-Is-Blood-Red.htm Edited August 22, 2013 by Glumish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is Orange. Blood Red is a dark version of Red based of the dark red color of blood. Tangerine Genocide, clearly. This explains why they didn't post the images on the main website, though. People would have been able to question them more easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno_Tarshil Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Well the goal of this thread is to show Bioware that we are quite unhappy about this and hopefully get the name changed or the coloring changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatile Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Most likely a name change, to something like "Oops, Orange". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNCommand Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Could be the artist tried to copy the color of blood that's started to dry but thanks to the white core of the lightsaber the red/brown color of drying hemoglobin turned slightly orange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW blood is orange because of the midichlorians in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir-Coffee Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I just don't understand how someone couldn't see this was listed as Blood Red and colored as Orange? BioWare thinks Revan's armor is the correct color even though it isn't. This isn't surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadoken Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 While the color of it in the preview still isn't what I would call 'blood red' it's definitely a reddish color. I think the lighting in this planet is making it look...not how it typically looks. Lighting can change colors quite a bit, especially with the effects they have to put on the lightsabers to make them lightsabery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arlon_Nabarlly Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Ugh They finally announced a new Red cartel crystal since that god ugly Orange-Red one and it's still orange. Sigh... Orange-red is actually one of my favorites. Oh well guess there's no accounting for taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it did that would be pretty worrying. edit: http://desktoppub.about.com/od/choosingcolors/f/What-Color-Is-Blood-Red.htm Using this color source.. the crystal actually looks closer to Crimson.. and I think it's close to what I see in preview. Then again.. local lighting in this game messes with colors a lot. Which generally, I am fine with.. but a light saber.... wait for it.. EMITs LIGHT... and if anything it should be a light influencer, not be influenced by local light. It's a freaking light source, not a light sponge.
