New Emerald color option
I just noticed that Emerald has added purple as a standard option to their 3D Builder.
I know they had some difficulty with blending colors in the past. For example my vibrant weave X30, which was supposed to be teal/turquoise and came out in an even more stunning (and rather appropriate) emerald green. Apparently they feel confident enough about creating a consistent purple blend now to add it to the builder. And here's hoping for more standard colors. Teal anyone?

Well spotted! Purple looks great in the standard weave - it’s more of a plum colour, assuming the builder is showing a good rendition of it. It looks especially good with gold hardware.
The vibrant weave version is a bit loud for my tastes, but I’m sure it will be popular. Maybe teal will be next?

I have a custom order Teal Balor bass I got 3 years ago - they just mixed blue and green half and half. I'll find some pics.
I plan to order another in Teal, an X30 at least. pics: Still makes me Is it Grue or Bleen? hehe Last edited by bholder; 03-27-2022 at 09:31 AM. |

Purple isn't my cup of tea, but I imagine Prince fans will celebrate. However, when a company is as innovative as Emerald, I appreciate that there will be hits and misses on the personal customer level so there is that. FWIW I like bholder's shade of green more than Emerald's...

Lol - that is definitely NOT teal. You know how I know? Because I absolutely HATE teal. And I rather LIKE that!
Also, for a change, I much prefer the color under 'normal' lighting (your photo) compared to the Emerald photos! |

Thanks, I guess. Yeah, my pic shows the blueish more than theirs. If it's not teal, what is it, turquoise? I was never that good with all of then fancy "in between" color names haha.

And I'm with Methos1979. Teal has more blue than that. Turquoise is a lighter shade of teal so it isn't that either. Which is why I call this emerald green.
