sup y’all!
you might think we’re married to the color blue, but we’re not 
we want to offer ALL the visibility, so we channeled our inner neon highlighters. but we can’t make a color decision without the help of our community! tell us what colors you want to see and rank your faves below 
Yellow and orange are best if you ever have to go looking for a ROV or BlueBoat.
WHAT ABOUT RED COLOUR ?..
Very nice! Have you done it? Can you share with us the best process and material to use? I’m thinking to change mine to Neon Green to relate with our company’s color.
Hi, I’m not sure if this is the best place to ask this but, my RoboSub team was hoping to SLA or FDM print some of our fairings in a water-competant material that closely matches the BlueRobotics signature blue. Currently, to my knowledge it is cornflower blue, could you confirm with me what blue you utilize and if possible, any places we could by filament, or even try to get color matching pellets for a mold.
hey! it looks like we use Makrolon 2407 in a nondescript shade of blue (i wish i could be more specific!) for our buoyancy fairings. our blue robotics blue is hex # 2699d0 and is close-ish to Pantone 279C - so if you decide to use a different material, you may be able to color match. i wish i could be more helpful - let me know how it goes!!
Hi @BlncK -
Maybe a Home Depot or Lowes has a color scanner for paint matching you could hold a fairing under? I’ve witnessed the fairings change color a bit with age, chemical and sediment exposure, and of course general sun exposure.
Thanks for the help! @tony-white & @meganph we unfortunately couldn’t find any suppliers for 3D printing filaments close to those colors and proper material. And it’s too much trouble for me to build a filament extruder on-top of being a full-time student and the team’s software lead lol! We’ve decided on going for a “stealth” black color-scheme. Excited to see your booth again at RoboSub 2025!
