Re: Team livery colors

Got you. From an old post on the internet:

Alfa Romeo Racing#B12039
AlphaTauri#4E7C9B
Alpine#2293D1
Aston Martin#2D826D
Ferrari#ED1C24
Haas#B6BABD
McLaren#F58020
Mercedes#6CD3BF
Red Bull Racing#1E5BC6
Williams#37BEDD

These are the hex codes for their official colors as per the F1 broadcast graphics.

Personally though, I prefer to get the colors directly from the teams' websites or official marketing materials. Just don't use photographs. 

Now about extracting the codes, there's the long way (opening the image on Paint or Paint.net and doing the obvious routine there) and there's the best way: Microsoft PowerToys' Color Picker. Now I just press Win + Shift + C and I get a color picker anywhere, anytime.

With Color Picker you can get the HSL code directly instead of converting the hex code somewhere.

Extra tip: I love to use Coolors to generate a color palette and play with it. Similarly, you can get the HSL code directly from the site and also use it to convert the hex to any other format.

However, here comes the pain... The game manages the HSL system in a 0-240 scale – probably due to the tooling available to them, as that is how Microsoft products work too. So using Paint can actually save you a few steps:

So in a nutshell, if you find yourself with the regular 0-360/0-100/0-100 HSL scale and wants to recreate it in the game with its 0-239/0-240/0-240 HSL one, just use the following multipliers:

  • Hue: 0.67
  • Saturation: 2.4
  • Luminance: 2.4

Or straight out Paint 🤷

Edit: Nah, scrap that. Use this to convert your hex codes:

f1colorconvertor 


It's quiet hard to recreate it. I would like to have the same red in my helmet like the Ferrari 2022 had. Can someone help me here? I just play on PS5. Don't know how to you use your multipliers. F1colorconvertor didn't work (the link didn't work)
