Material Color in REVIT

[Anonymous]

Hi,

we got a presentation from the contractor via navi to present a project done by revit. Some of the material color are different from the approved. They said even if we present the work through Revit will never get the exact color. Is that correct? do we have to render each shot to get the exact color??

Thank you

Hi Somaya,

You can get the exact color of your desire materials in revit, All you need is manage those materials in revit just exactly the same with the actual color.

you can also use images as a reference for your materials.

Just play with it and understand its behavior.

Thank you Arjay,

But I am asking after this step, while we do walk through or take shots. Is it change slightly?

Hi Somaya,

all you need is set the Camera rendering settings (as shown in the images) and hopefully you've already play with rendering 🙂

then When you're exporting the walkthrough. the revit will render defending on the number of Walkthrough Frames.

But I tell you this, this process is like a trial and error so make sure do the test run first before you go for a final run and this will take sometime.

make sure also that your machine can accommodate this process.

I think it is a bit strange question. What does it mean that colors are different from approved, in what way? What does it mean exact color?

Color is all about perception How you perceive a color is depending on many factors. In real life how you perceive a color is depending on light color, color direction, surrounding colors, surface color is placed on, how color is applied to surface direction of looking at it etc etc.

If you talking about digital colors you get additional factors like software, monitors, graphics cards etc.

Also rendering is some kind of simulation/interpretation of the situation. Each render engine will do/interpret it (slightly) different.

In short not sure what they would expect and their interpretation of "exact" colors
