[FM_TUTORIAL] Forza Colour Conversion
COLOUR CONVERSION IN FORZA**
-----------
So you have an awesome logo you’ve just painted, but the colours don’t seem right 
By using this really quick tutorial you can colour match much better!
Forza utilises the ‘HSB’ range of colours in game…
H - Hues of all colours
S - Saturation (How Much White)
B - Black (How Much Black)
If you have access to programs like Photoshop you can be much more accurate in colour sampling but other online programs like “http://imagecolorpicker.com/” work just as well.
You will however notice that in Forza the HSB codes are very different as ingame uses a different numbering range.
This Tutorial explains what to do to convert correctly.
Any questions along the way post up in the thread.
Enjoy and hope this is of use to you.

TUTORIAL**
In this tutorial Im just using a found source image of SSR Wheels, 3 colours…Red, Blue & Cyan (Excluding Black.)
I’m keeping this simple so no Photoshop just using the online sampling from “http://imagecolorpicker.com/”
STEP ONE - Obtain Image Colour Codes**
1. Open the site (LINK) and upload your photo (if saved locally) or take the image url from the site.
2. The Image will appear in the window above.
TIP: Try to use the highest resolution you can otherwise the image my pixelate.
3. Use the cursor and select the colours you want to take the codes from and note them down.
These will be required on the next site. I tend to use RGB as start but the HEX will work fine also.
4. Ready to convert into Forza HSB…
-----------
STEP TWO - Conversion**
Conversion is very simple only a couple of calculations to be done.
Couple of sites available below (but many more exist)
- HEX Code conversion “http://rgb.to/” [[ SITE LINK] ]
- RGB Code Converter “http://colorizer.org/” [ SITE LINK ]
I will use each of the above sites to show the conversions using ‘HEX’ and ‘RGB’ below…
-----------
HEX CODE CONVERSION**
Website Used “http://rgb.to/” [ SITE LINK ]
1. Taking the Cyan Colour code ‘#18B6EE’
2. Enter into the top box (as below)
This produces the ‘HSB’ code as 196, 90, 93
H = 196
S = 90
B = 93
Next Step See… “Convert To Forza Colour Range”
-----------
RGB CODE CONVERSION
Website Used “http://colorizer.org/” [ SITE LINK ]
1. Taking the Red Colour (R: 208 / G: 4 / B: 40)
2. Enter into each of the boxes next to RGB (as below).
This produces the ‘HSB’ code as 196, 90, 93
H = 349.41
S = 98.08
B = 81.57
Next Step…See “Convert To Forza Colour Range”
CONVERT TO FORZA COLOUR RANGE
Forza works on the numbering range of 0-1.00 values.
Different to the HSB above but it is still very much usable by following the below calculation.
Simply done Divide H by 360.
H: Divide Value by 360
S: Divide Number by 100
B: Divide Number by 100
Example…
H = 196 / S = 90 / B = 93
Forza Codes…
H: 196 ÷ 360 = 0.54
S: 90 ÷ 100 = 0.90
B: 93 ÷ 100 = 0.93
Enjoy!
