I'd love to. I wasn't sure the demand considering the Toys Era stuff out there and whether or not people would just be bashing using that stuff. But if the interest is there I'm certainly down.

I love your work, as you already know, so you definitely have another customer with me.

Will the joker suit be screen accurate or prop accurate in colour?
I've never understood this question. Why on earth would anyone want "prop" accurate? And this is not a dig at you for asking... I'm honestly curious. When I am looking at a figure I want to see that figure as it was in the film. I don't have the benefit of lighting and color tone and correction that is done to a film after shooting.... so to me, I have ALWAYS thought that screen accurate is the goal. So for example, if the ACTUAL suit is a lighter red/maroon color, but it appears darker in the ENTIRETY of the film due to the stylistic choices made in the editing room, then I want my suit to have the darker look.

No I completely agree.

But this suit also varied wildly across the film, so I guess it was more a question to ascertain the exact colour we are aiming for.

Yeah I guess that is true and in that case the question definitely makes sense.

Screen accurate - whatever THAT is! So let's talk about that. I took some screen grabs on a calibrated monitor and matched up some averaged colors.

The issue, as we're aware, is that different color-grading was used throughout the film - and it's different for indoor and outdoor scenes, as well as the lighting in each scene to begin with. Outdoors, it's more maroon ( a bluer grading) and indoors it has more of a reddish-orange tint (warmer grading).

I put these together as a starting point. The Murray set scene is pretty iconic and maybe the brightest light in the film (although warm). And then I picked an amalgam of outdoor and Murray dressing room scenes to get a more maroon set of colors.

The orange is also drabber in the outdoor scenes. I'm open to discuss and tweak to get what we want, but I don't want to debate for weeks either.

Sorry Comatoast, can you go ahead and remove me from the list? I'm just feeling a bit burnt out on all things Joker right now.

Prefer slightly darker myself.

To me the coloring as seen in the Mur-ray scene is the ideal look. A duller but reddish/orange is preferred, in my opinion, than the really maroon appearance seen outdoors. Essentially I think an in between of the Toys-Era, which is FAR too bright, and that 3rd party one I've seen floating around, which is FAR too maroon.
