Colour's off on the escort cosworth

It seems like it should be mallard green instead of this matte grey
What it looks like ingame
here’s what it looks like irl
as you can see, it’s weird

Yeah I think they broke one of their material shaders. If you use the semi-gloss or brushed variants of nay of the shiny metal paints in the special category, they are all completely matte too, even though the semi-gloss should be, ya know, semi-gloss, and the brushed should have a brushed metal pattern. Instead they just look like frosted glass, it’s bizarre

I doubt if they’ll fix the specific issue of the green being wrong; they have wrong colours on almost every other car in all the other games, and then the lighting always changes between games, affecting how the alread-established colours are going to appear. The Escort Cossie was I think added as DLC way back in Horizon 1? Maybe a launch car for Forza 4? Point being, she’s been with us for a bit and has lived through a console generation shift. That green was probably perfectly correct 4 games ago. The matte effect is new, and is a symptom of a larger problem this game has which earlier ones didn’t
