Color code?

Post by bigmagic »

I want to paint my Keyboard Stand with the Nord-Red color.
Does somebody knows the exact color code of the Nord-Red?

I don't have THE answer for you, but can you take it to a hardware / paint store and ask them to use their machine to identify a matching colour? I don't know if the same store can then produce the right type of paint for, I assume, a metal keyboard stand.

I have a car repair guy who is able to match bespoke colours. I'm sure you could find someone similar.

Alternatively, a set of Pantone cards or an email to Nord to see if they'll share?

you can use this tool

html-color-codes.info/colors-from-image/

to get the hex code for any shade of red from this (Nord) website. Some paint stores can convert those into paint colours. ☺

Hm... not from digital images taken from uncalibrated cameras/scanners...
Both suggestions by Kayj_prod are much better.
By the way, I have the feeling that the earlier Nords were very bright red and current models a bit darker. Is that so?

I meant the red that Nord is using on this site - borders etc. Depends on how close you want it I guess
- if you can discern from 2 million+ shades of red have at 'er!

My Stage, Stage 2 and Wave are all the same shade as far as I can tell. Not that I ever owned one, but I recall the Nord Modular being a brighter red, but that might just be my memory ...and I reckon the red was all the more surprising back then!

Yes, I did!
Here is the result!
It's an old K&M 18880 stand.

Here's a picture of one of my stands from a few years ago...I used a basic red spray paint I found at the local hardware store and thought it matched pretty well.
