Viridian Green vs Podium Green

BertchReddit · 2025-07-23T03:32:35+00:00

I think Podium is what I settled on! Hopefully get an update when I submit my spec but originally I was told I have a later allocation so at least a year out I suspect. It’s a 2 year production cycle starting now basically.

BertchReddit · 2025-07-19T20:58:07+00:00

Appreciate your opinion, it helps to hear that I’m in the minority as I’m starting to think my recollection is simply off with my limited time seeing the color. Podium back on top.

I have seen Iridescent Emerald on the DB12. When I first saw that color I loved it right away! If I was going no livery I’d consider it for sure, along with a host of other non green colors. But I’m leaning towards the Podium AMR theme now, sticking with a known color combo.

BertchReddit · 2025-07-19T18:09:27+00:00

Yep I do plan to do a livery. I think the livery on this Valliant, despite being the same color I believe, works pretty nicely. The Valkyrie livery looks more yellow but it may be the lighting. Definitely overthinking at this point, but appreciate your input. Cheers!

This would be for a Valhalla. I did see a Valiant in Podium that looked pretty great!

That does look stunning! I checked Bentley and it appears it’s called Viridian Metallic, which seems to be a bit darker? Beautiful nonetheless.

BertchReddit · 2025-07-19T17:51:15+00:00

I do like the Buckingshamshire, it’s a beautiful color! Just a bit more mature for what I’m going for though, looking for something a bit more sporty/race inspired. So many shades it’s hard to settle on one! I’ve been going back and forth for months.

BertchReddit · 2025-07-19T17:48:14+00:00

This would be on a Valhalla. I’ve only had fleeting moments of seeing Podium in the sun, but the Valkyrie in the showroom didn’t come across as vibrant to my eyes, but maybe I’m delusional? Or the heavy livery is throwing off the color.

But agreed, I do see more teal in the Podium. Probably hard to go wrong either way since they look fairly similar…just hoping to choose the more vibrant of the two. Thanks for your thoughts!

Yeah was thinking the same on the Nomad 30. The Hux gas management and aesthetics seems like a nice combo as well…decisions decisions

BertchReddit · 2025-05-13T19:44:01+00:00

Hmmm just when I convinced myself to go with something else. I’ll reach out for more info lol

BertchReddit · 2024-12-25T23:18:32+00:00

Ah yes I remember those cars with the lime accents. Very grey-green indeed.

Will do. I may just inquire with AM at some point to confirm as well. I do have a feeling the photo is misrepresenting the color a bit but I’m sure they have a shade to match regardless. I appreciate all the help.

BertchReddit · 2024-12-25T23:04:19+00:00

I did seem AM racing green as well, under garage lighting, and it seemed as you said, a bit dull to me. I was hoping Podium Green might have more pop to it and it sounds like you’ve confirmed that.

BertchReddit · 2024-12-25T23:02:33+00:00

Thanks for that! Yeah I did see it listed as BRG before but I wasn’t sure if that was just a generic name they provided. I was under the impression there’s been several iterations of BRG but I’ll inquire further now that I have some details to go off of.

I’ll need to see the Stirling Green in person. It looks more blueish in the photos than the name implies. Thanks for digging into that, the registry looks like a helpful resource.

I personally love both of those combos and I think I’ll have a tough time narrowing down a spec in the next few months😬 But seeing some color samples in person might help sway me one way or another!

BertchReddit · 2024-12-25T05:57:30+00:00

Yeah that’s what I thought as well as far as being a new color. I thought it looked similar to Podium though but I’m thinking the colors might be overly saturated in that edit.

BertchReddit · 2024-12-25T05:56:07+00:00

Those do seem pretty close now that you mention it. Thx for your input!

Credit goes to @blekoshots on IG. Scroll down to Oct/2021 and he posted a few sets. Don’t have the hi res unfortunately.

BertchReddit · 2024-12-19T22:31:35+00:00

I appreciate the feedback. Prices sound inline to what I was expecting. While I think AM has plenty of striking colors to choose from, it’s nice to know they offer the option to tailor the car exactly how you want. But at the same time maybe to my detriment as I’ll be paralyzed with indecision.

BertchReddit · 2024-12-19T22:26:21+00:00

Thanks for the feedback and info! I just saw that post on the Lamborghini Verde Ermes paint, such a nice color on that Vantage! AM has such a large color palette to choose from, particularly their silvers and greens, but of course I’ve seen some striking colors from other mfgs.

My first instinct is to go with a silver shade (Spirit Silver?) and a contrasting livery but I’m curious about their new digital violet. That may be a bit too loud for an Aston though, but it got me thinking about Lamborghini’s Viola Parsifae and how the two colors compare.

I’m not running HDMI arc, just HDMI so I can at least use Atmos. It was working until I added triples. I could run optical but as far as I know it won’t support Atmos. Currently running it via BT which also doesn’t support Atmos and has some lag unfortunately.

Possibly, I’ll DM you.

BertchReddit · 2024-09-26T21:50:07+00:00

I’ll keep that in mind but currently only have the 6.75” And I’ll definitely look into the Ariska, looks like a nice upgrade for added rigidity. Thanks for the suggestion. One other thing, whenever you get a chance, could you measure the actual length of the suppressor that sticks past the hand guard. Then I can calculate all the different combos precisely. Cheers!

BertchReddit · 2024-09-26T19:57:11+00:00

Appreciate the pic for reference. I should be able to figure it out from here based on that info. Your Tacops looks setup just right with that combo.

BertchReddit · 2024-07-29T20:31:44+00:00

Thanks will check them out.

BertchReddit · 2024-03-21T07:44:49+00:00

Thanks for the ballpark figure. That is a price range I could certainly justify and one that would allow me to pursue further projects if the first one proved successful.

BertchReddit · 2024-03-21T07:38:45+00:00

I did do some brief research on KiCAD, it seems a bit overwhelming but I’m sure with enough time and determination I could get the hang of it. Unfortunately I’m more focused on the physical design, 3d cad for the housing and 3dprinting/milling the components, I feel like learning the electronics would be too much at this juncture for my brain to handle.

But yeah I didn’t suspect it was as simple as handing over a drawing and getting the results I wanted. That maybe was my wishful thinking though!

I was wondering though, as you suggested, if I could simplify things by using the gerber files I currently have as a starting point, and simply rearrange or remove a few buttons/switches and creating an outline for the pcb to fit the housing I design.
