    Why does this Eldritch nightmare have to have flesh tone plating and a face that opens? It’s fucking disturbing

      I was going to say the color was faithful to the original, but it seems I misremembered.

        I don’t think misremembered as much as mistranslated.

        Someone may have well tried picking a colour from a screenshot in the movie and thought it’d be as simple as that.

        I don’t know how they painted or coloured it, but having been in a graphical design school for a bit, I know how complex it can be to get a colour right, depending on what sort of media/display youre using.

          Also, lighting and the camera can change a lot (remember that dress?). This could be the correct color and the image just doesn’t appear correct.

            Exactly this.

            That’s why it won’t work that you’d just stop a movie and pick the colour, because the colour you pick is influenced not only by the colour of the thing you wanting to pick, but also the light that’s on it, and the light that’s surrounding it.

            And digital to analog is a whole other step. Digital colours are accurate, simple, clear. Analog colours from digital colours? Uff. Takes a bit. Like RGB into CMYK or some bullshit like that.

            edit llms are bullshit but I think this will make it clearer for some people without them needing to google more shit: Converting from RGB to CMYK is necessary when preparing images for print, as RGB is an additive color model primarily used for digital displays, while CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key/Black) is a subtractive color model used for printing. The conversion process involves translating colors from the RGB gamut (which is wider) to the CMYK gamut, which can result in a perceived color shift due to the differences in color ranges

          It wasn’t far enough off to be unrecognizable, so indeed, credit where it’s due.

    There are 3D print files for this beer cooler out there.

    I do not remember where I saw them, sorry.
