About
My son has a 1989 Toyota Supra Turbo as a project car. He showed me the color he'd built for it in Forza Horizon and wanted to paint the real thing to match, and I couldn't find a tool that made it easy. So I built one.
Frequently asked questions
What is Forza HSB?
Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon use a custom HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) color system where all three values are expressed as decimals between 0.00 and 1.00, rather than the standard 0–360° for hue and 0–100% for saturation and brightness. This makes it difficult to match Forza paint colors to real-world formats used by paint shops, vinyl suppliers, and design software.
How do I find my paint color in Forza?
In Forza Motorsport or Forza Horizon, go to the Car Customization menu, select Paint, then choose a custom color. The HSB sliders will show decimal values between 0 and 1. Write these down and enter them in the Forza HSB section above, then tap Convert to get the equivalent HEX, RGB, HSV, HSL, and CMYK values.
Which format should I give my vinyl wrap shop?
Most vinyl wrap shops and print studios work in CMYK for printed wraps, or they may accept HEX and RGB for digital color matching. If you're ordering pre-colored vinyl film, the shop will usually match by eye or using their own color library. Bring the HEX code as a starting point — it's the most universally understood format.
Which format should I use for automotive paint?
Automotive paint shops typically mix by formula code rather than digital color values. However, RGB or HEX can help a shop find the closest available formula in their mixing system. Some modern shops with spectrophotometers can mix directly from RGB values. Always verify with a physical paint chip before committing to a full paint job.
Can I convert any color format back to Forza HSB?
Yes — enter values in any section (HEX, RGB, HSV, HSL, or CMYK) and tap Convert. The Forza HSB fields will update with the equivalent in-game values you can enter directly into Forza's color picker.
