Base Color RGB Codes in Surfaces tab?

daltonhill

Please understand I am autistic. I am not good in communicating.

I am just now getting the hang of Daz3D, and I was wondering if someone knows where I can find a "cheat sheet" (or anything of the sort) for Base Color (in the Surfaces tab). I am aiming for a golden tan for two of my characters, but I am also looking for other natural skin colors in case I want to do something else later.

I think that maybe you would be better off in the New Users Forum which are designed to help New Users of all abilities to get to grips with their new software.

You can move the thread there yourself by clicking on the gear icon next to the star in your first post, then clicking edit and then change the category from the drop down list on the lefthand side of that page, then save comment.

If you just want to pick a color, you can click in the color field and it opens a palette where you just can pick a color you want.

If you are looking specifically for skin colors, then try to google "rgb skin color" and you can find many charts, something like

But be aware that the render can look very different from the Base Color, as all the other settings in the surface settings affect the final result.

This might help.

This. Changing the base color may or may not get you close to what you're looking for.

There is a lot going on with skin shaders/textures. You may have to get into some pretty tall weeds for a new user.
