Yellow
Decks
Of course most starship
decks are actually black, or metallic in colour. No one has actually asked 'Why
yellow decks?' but in case people wonder, here's the explanation. I picked yellow
for two main reasons.
A: Firstly I wanted
to make it distinct from the white back ground to make the decks seem more solid
and thereby much more clear.
B: Yellow itself is a very unobtrusive colour. Every single other shade I tried seemed to dominate the image too much or be pale enough that the overall shape of the ship disappeared.
Of course I do have
to mention that for new plans, and older refurbished plans, my decks are now
done in a beige. This is mainly due to the fact that I usually have the exterior
plan view looking down through the cockpit, and the beige looks more realistic
than yellow would.
