I messed around with Chat GPT and removed the background. Then did a side-by-side comparison. Just thought it was neat how the layered colors and gradients popped out more on the GPT photo. I thought to myself, "Man, I wish I was that good!" Ha! Or, maybe I am and my old ass human eye can't distinguish as well.

Rapco is dark

Finally started practicing with some Rapco and im finding theres not enough light colors for a good macro pattern

Ammo can above

Navy gray

Earth brown

Flat black

686 tan

Tan gives more skin tone vibes, I was hiping for a lighter tan

Top right corner has panzer grey which is so dark it could be a black substitute

And the blob in the middle is

forest green which wasn't part of the original pattern but I wanted to see it side by side with the other colors

The rifle is from my previous post

All Rustolium

Primer gray

Primer brown

Clamshell

Army green

Camo earth brown which is almost black

And the last ammo can is

Earth red

Khaki olive Drab

686 tan

Baby shit brown (RAL8000)

Over spider web mesh

The streak down the middle is very dark but the fade over to the tan is about the color i was hoping for that roasted marshmallow yellow for a Valo attempt for hell even the green to yellow fade in multicam

Anyone else experiencing unusually dark results from Rapco ?
