mezzanine Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I was looking at my matte transitional dial, and noticed the colour of the 'faux tritium' markers looked different under soft light. In pictures, and if looked at closely under a bright light, the colour of the markers is soft lemon-yellowish, slightly raised and texturized. In the dark, the colour is the same as under the bright light. But under more natural lighting, the markers have the appearance of being more 'aged' sandy beige in colour and texture. I don't know if that's a normal optical thing, but I thought I would ask if that was characteristic of the revell night color stuff- not sure if that's the name that Edge used in his review of mods for a 1680- but those were the only markers I saw that I thought were similar in texture and colour under light. Maybe yellow just looks different from a distance under softer light condtions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 It doesn't matter what the luminous material is your markers will look very different under different lighting conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezzanine Posted April 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Yeah, you're right, I could've sworn that my eyes were deceiving me- here is the dial under the best lighting I've probably been able to achieve yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
