Material advice needed

Hi all,

In the attached image we have a composite cladding material that is grey but ... it's rendering with a brown tint which I assume is due to the adjacent brown brick walls and gravel.

Our client is quite instant that it appears as grey but I've been unable to make it so within Enscape, I could post-process the 10+ images in PS but as we'll be knocking out videos I'd prefer to get it right within Enscape.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

So... I think I've fixed it .... by making it blue!

I'm more engineer than artist so it wasn't logical but once I set a pantone chart against the material sample we'd been sent and entered the coresponding RGB values it suddenly worked, a little adjustment in the material settings and hey presto! we have grey paneling.

I KNOW its wrong but it looks RIGHT ... this boils my engineers brain a bit

Great that you found a solution. One thing to consider is the white balance / color temperature of the image. This also causes a slight color distortion (also in photography). There are a few settings exposed on that matter.

Always fascinating to see engineering/engineers and art/artists coming so close together in Enscape
