A WIP HTML I'm working on,
https://rukario.github.io/Schande/Uninteresting stuff/Color Gallery.html
Having a proper interactive guide with inventory/flop angle pictures (unlike those BD's promotional pictures which tend to be oversaturated/doctored) is much needed! So I made one. I think it's gotten super good! It'll be great for realistic color brainstorming (i.e. using it as a color picker + gallery of examples instead of the one BD provided), using as a silicone color guide when looking at cool rogue pictures hoping to figure out which silicone color used there (i.e. using it as a BD color finder). It can also be used as a sanity test, I had an existing color set I have in my mind and it helped me see things a lot, it gave me a good idea what my future custom toy might be when I have it in my hand.
I'm not sure how to convert it for community driven production, since it's just my personal project. I may update it regularly or I may not. There is one of my other personal projects this HTML will rely on for a specific kind of update, meaning the whole list of URL of pictures it's using will be entirely up to my discretion for now.
If there's a silicone you think is better suited in a different color group, if you're seeing a translucent silicone when theme specifications said it's not, or if you've found a wonderful rogue picture that you think will represent the silicone the best, you can try create a pull request of an updated HTML or make a note somewhere on GitHub and I'll take a look into it. The translucent specification was hard enough to fill it out, yet it's a far more important feature to have, the blend/smear issue during custom of two translucent silicones is an actual real problem to us. I wouldn't want any more theme specifications, never mind the metallic/pearlescent; as the gallery can already show us almost everything. I'd also want this HTML to not include the retired themes/silicones because BD isn't going to make them anymore; I want the tool to be clean and relevant for color brainstorming of my (and your) future custom toys.
This thread is super helpful! I figured we need an interactive version of all our findings. As the HTML is unfinished, I'll be sure to work filling out the missing things, especially legacy toys, I presume that BD could still make those today upon request. The HTML is usable enough to share though.
