Wrap colors wall ID project

[KevinRS]

Here is my start on trying to ID what colors on the wall match up to. There are less colors on the wall than in the maker, I think they skipped the ones that transition from one color to another from front to back or top to bottom, and I didn't see any that looked like pearl or color change effects.

There still might not be a 1 to 1 match possible, there may be some on the wall not in the maker etc.

I set this to editable by anyone, so if you think you can match anything up, go for it.
Looking at more images to get angles with reflections changed might help.

Nice job. That looks like a lot of work went into it. Some of the rgb colors the maker uses are in my table:

Slate color value (wrap-color)	Slate color id (configurator-id)	color-rgb
Birch Tree	EA003_GL_OFF_WHITE	#f3f7f6
Black Ribbon	EA003_GL_BLACK	#000000
Blue Hour	EA003_GL_DARK_BLUE	#002f75
Brain Freeze	EA003_PWF-G137	#526e7b
Bumblebee	EA003_SA_YELLOW	#f5c000

I do wonder if those boards are more Trade Show mock up than what's actually going to be available in 3 months. Something like a visual representation of the idea: We'll have a hundred colors instead of just the grey rainbow, but not really being the actual colors.
It seems like it wouldn't take long to print out 100-ish labels, mount them on card stock to make them pretty, and double sided tape them to the wall.
Probably less time to make labels then to answer what color is this, what color is that a bunch of times.

Cool, I was wondering if someone had tried to do this.
I think I’ve settled on the Lake Superior wrap. If someone is able to identify which one that might have been on the wall.
Thanks.

The colors in the table, I just used the color picker in sheets to sample a clean looking spot from the images, to make it easier to see what you are matching up.

From the answer I got, they started out with some way to ID them, but then the supplier changed and so names changed. Possibly someone thought it looks better without labels.
I figure it won't be 100%, but a bunch should be identifiable, if we start by filtering which are gloss, finding the obvious ones, and doing a process of elimination.

This is some incredible work. It would go a long way if Slate could do a better job of showing us what these colors will actually look like.

I wonder if it would just be easier to pick your own color (not of the swatches) and then have an algorithm to show you the closest swatches.

I added the color to the hex code in case that helps.

#000000	#000000	Black Ribbon
#000000	#000000	Lake Superior
#000000	#000000	Pool Day
#000000	#000000	Tar Pit
#002f75	#002f75	Blue Hour
#002f75	#002f75	Navy Yard
#013c1a	#013c1a	Old Growth Forest
#015cb2	#015cb2	Voltage
#0184cb	#0184cb	Mr. Blue Sky
#01986d	#01986d	Emerald City
#023e8d	#023e8d	True Blue
#03538c	#03538c	Laguna

I don’t recall reading such involvement picking a paint vehicle offering.

Huge undertaking with questionable benefits. The ambient lighting on the wall board, shadows , and refections will all lead to errors in judgment in matching everything up. We need real hands on samples and a real truck to ensure we will be reasonably satisfied with the selected wrap. It’s like picking a color sample at Benjamin Moore from a swatch and painting your entire house. It looked totally different after the project completed. Needless to say, it needed to be done over. Talk about lessons learned.

I'm not expecting anyone to make a final decision based on this, it's that the rendering in the maker is even worse. Needs some descriptive info added and reference images of each wrap, especially the special ones. Are they metal flake, pearl, color shift, gradient, etc. Maybe people can use this to narrow things down though, and help decide which swatches to order. Not sure what you mean by a real truck, yeah ideally seeing a real truck wrapped in each wrap would be best, but that would be over 100 trucks, not going to happen.

I know there are limits to the photos, hard to tell the difference in some colors, especially the whole column on the far right. Even in person it's hard to tell what's matte or satin, about impossible in the photos, even gloss vs satins can be hard to tell from a photo.

Sorry everyone, I think I accidently deleted the second picture, can someone upload it again?
