barpos Apr 2, 2014 1:48 PM (in response to Trevor.Dennis)Hi Trevor,
I called Chrysler Canada, and they couldn't help me. I called 3M (that makes vehicle commercial wrap materials) and they didn't know either what PYG stands for, they only suggested I use CMYK instead of RBG.

csuebele Apr 2, 2014 1:58 PM (in response to barpos)PYG is the paint code so you can get the same type of touchup paint. This info is usually found under your car's hood:
http://paintref.com/cgi-bin/colorcodedisplay.cgi?code=PYG&manuf=Chrysler&rows=50
Don't know how to match it to PS colors - not sure any really knows, as they just want the paint to match your car.

Where did you get the code from? Does 'Linen Gold Pearl' sound about right?

barpos Apr 2, 2014 2:15 PM (in response to Trevor.Dennis)Wow, it does look very similar. The name of the color I found for my vehicle is "Linen Gold Metallic Clearcoat". But, I have to admit, I sure don't see any metallic glitters in the paint.
How do I apply your code composition to a Hue adjustment layer?
Thanks!

Trevor.Dennis Apr 2, 2014 2:34 PM (in response to barpos)I am no expert on verhicle paint, but 'clear coat' sounds like something that would go on top of a base colour, but cealr coats would very likely come with metalic specks to add that extra touch of class to the paint job.
OK, how to use it. I looked at your first post again, and I am not sure what you mean by 'commercial wrap', or what your 'picture bacground' looks like, and it is difficult to tell you how to go from here without more info, or way better still, seeing a screen grab of the image.
To set the colour, click on the forground colour, and enter the values in post #4. i.e.
R 201
G 193
B 176
From there you could simply fill a layer, or fill a new layer and set the blend mode to Color. I don't think that Hue/saturation is the right tool to use, but we really need to see your image to know what you are trying to do.

barpos Apr 2, 2014 7:03 PM (in response to Trevor.Dennis)Commercial Vehicle Wrap is when a large part of the vehicle is covered with commercial advertising via 3M (or the like) film.
The background picture is simply a house and a front yard. It's in full color. I need to convert it into a beige tint (the color of the vehicle body) so that the background is no longer distractive.

Fill with new colour, and set the layer blend mode to Color
Reduce layer opacity tpo suite.
To change parts of the image, open house image.
Make new image and fill with new colour
Go back to house image and go Image > Adjust > Replace color

twenty_one Apr 3, 2014 12:46 AM (in response to Trevor.Dennis)Of course, and just for the record, numbers mean nothing until a specific color space is assigned.
For RGB one can in most cases safely assume sRGB. For CMYK it's more complicated. The Photoshop default (US Web Coated SWOP) has no particular significance and isn't even used outside the Americas.
