xgrantx Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Okay...Most of you know I'm pressing Most Precious Blood's Merciless. I'm doing two colors for the vinyl. What do you think would look best? White, Clear, black/green splatter, or something else. I didn't want to do a solid green cause I'm afraid it won't match.... Let me know what you think...I have to fax my papers in a day or two Grant Bitter Melody Records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 This is one time a No Idea mush gray color would look cool with the art. I think a half white/half gray would look cool or a white/gray swirl. A clear w/ lots of black smoke would make it look kinda like a translucent gray (HT exclusive color of Alk3 s/t was like that) which would look cool and if you added some red splatter to it that would be cool too. I like all the half/half, swirl, and splatter colored vinyl but I know a lot of people just like more basic colored vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattisr1984 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 im not too fussed about colors and what what is but a grey/green marble could match the skin tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 While my opinion here does not hold as much here, as I don't think this is something I would buy, I always like it when along with all the crazy colors you can go with the classic black.

kurtz Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I think white, grey or just regular black would look good. I prefer solid colors. Every now and again a splatter or swirl looks good, but they usually come out looking awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgrantx Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 like a red splatter in clear? and I do like classic black too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 A white or clear with a red splatter. Would go along with the cover art. Some examples I found that I've taken pics of: Couldn't find any white w/ red splatter or clear w/ green as suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circlingvultures Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 what about a clear with a darker green haze? I've seen red with black haze and clear with maroon or black haze but I don't know if I've ever seen a clear with a green haze. I'm sure they're out there I just haven't seen any nor do I own any.

xgrantx Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 I hadn't thought about some of these. You guys are giving me food for thought.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen red with black haze and clear with maroon or black haze but I don't know if I've ever seen a clear with a green haze. I'm sure they're out there I just haven't seen any nor do I own any. Yea the HT exclusive color on that last Fall of Troy LP was suppose to be clear w/ green haze but most just look clear, I think a couple people here said there were very very slight streaks of green in theirs. I think that would look cool tho with more green in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened there? Plant error? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgrantx Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Mixing colors is always unpredictable...you tell the plant what you want and you take what they give you Simplicity will be a more reliable option.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circlingvultures Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 well then my favorite "simple" color in a green was the Pelican / Mono split on Olive. I cant seem to find any pictures and I'm far too lazy to take my own but it was a nice green. Not too bright, not the typical clear green. Perfect.

mot Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I think the 2 colors should be white with red splatter and red with white splatter, or a red/white half and half, and a plain old black... Geez... Too many choices! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgrantx Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 With a white with red splatter you would probably end up with some pink parts as they mix together..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgrantx Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 for the olive color they probably mixed a little black with the green...i dunno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circlingvultures Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 it actually has some white in it if that shows up well enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Not really feeling that green on the Pelican/Mono split. Maybe if it were a bit darker? But not too much where it gets to an army green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circlingvultures Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 the flash certainly lightens it up a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
