Doing a "Peachy but not Pink" from RGB fixtures. Settings?

Rick,
Try Red-255, Green 204 and Blue 204 see if that gets you what you want. I bought four 9 LED RGBW fixtures from Cap last week and have put 6 hours on one fixture messing with color combinations. I have invested a bunch of money in lights (27 fixtures) but all where effect lights. I decided it was time to get some uplights and battery DMX is the only thing I am interested in. Me and my daughter love these uplights. Between now and Christmas I plan to add another 10 lights.
How many does it take to do a small to med wedding?

The Green and Blue on the RGB charts were just not right. This room has some brown in the walls so we ended up tweaking it back to 100-30-4 (scale of 100). It's a bit hard to tell in this shot. It's still total daylight and they have they huge, yellow stained glass windows. My perimeter colors don't pop here until sundown.
You can't do true "peachy" colors with RGB because it requires light in the Amber range which RGB fixtures can't produce.
You either need RGBA's or conventional pars with gels.
That is the exact shade I sent you the numbers for (and I put it in one of my fixtures up agianst a white wall), however you didn't say you had a light with 100 instead of 255 on the setting. All the lights I have seen are 255, what are you using Rick?
Chauvet Slimpar 56. It's a 0-100 setting. I think that color was R100 - G31 - B4. We tried what the scale was calling for and just didn't look right. My 16 yr old kid has gotten good at tweaking on the fly.
I'm with Rick. You can get a lot of colors with an RGB Slimpar that folks say you can't get without Amber. Looks good Rick!
Rick it looks great, I am slowly working towards being able to do what you do. I don't book many weedings as I don't consider my lighting to be at the proper level and I stay booked so much by the schools and private parties. When me and my brother in law retire, 4-5 years we will go multi op, full time and I will spend a bunch of money on light and projectors between now and then.
On your set up, you had pink when it was light outside, but it was peach when it got dark. I had the same issue this weekend as I needed orange, I had peach when the room hand high ambeint light, but it was deep orange when it got dark.

I'll call it what it was, what the client asked for. And I'll call you wrong.

Yes, that venue has a bunch of bright-yellow stained glass windows. You're talking peach light against a slightly brown wall, with huge yellow sunlight hitting it. The tone definitely changed as the night went on.

What they asked for and what color it really is are two different things.
You can call me anything your ego requires.
I'll still call pink by it's real name, and add amber when I want true peaches and straws.
And in the mean time, I'll have worked 5 jobs to your one, made more money in the process and with a lot more happy clients. Bless your little heart.
To me, if it worked for the client, it was the right color. Who cares what they called it.
Arguing about what "peachy" means is like arguing how long "a little bit". It's different for many people.
Having said that, I love having RGBWA lights than can offer a wide variety of colors

That's great! ... 'cause you really need the practice.

The client is not reading this thread - DJs interested in LED lighting are.
That is who will care.
Tell your client's whatever they want to hear, tell the truth in here.
Your posts would be really funny, if you didn't actually believe them.
