Captain Marvel colors
so the marvel Captain Marvel. I was looking at the pics Samurainoir posted and was wondering if he's black and red or blue and red, is it one of those debates like Spidey's costume or Batman?. I really like the early look with the Gil kane cover art.

You mean Mar-Vell? I always thought it was (navy) blue & red, but of course I like my Batman blue, too.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses. -
Yeah, mar-vell. SOme of the early stuff really looks like the intent was black.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

I think Mar-vell's outfit, the black/blue portion, is somewhat the same as Iron Man's stealth armor. It seems like it should be black, but there is a lot of blue in there, to give definition--or it should be blue, but there is a lot of black in there, to give definition.
Does that help any?

It's open to interpretation... I'd say for a "retro" look, go with blue. Captain Mar-Vell pretty much ended his run around the same time that the four-colour newsprint comic book went away.
If you are aiming for more contemporary, it's definitely black as witnessed by the star-field that manifests when Genis-Vell is wielding the Power Cosmic. It's definitely a challenge getting the starfield to look right... I keep thinking how cool it might be to get some pictures from the hubble telescope and using that on a printed suit.

I am leaning towards this look, really like the mask. The costume really has a solid silver age look to it.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

Well if it only was colored that way in the Batman Spiderman Blue/black then it was meant to be black if seen in three dimensions I guess.
Might look funny though, like the first time I saw a Toy Biz black and red Spiderman figure . . . . . . . . . . .kinda weird. . . . .Comment

I'd probably split the difference and do a dark navy blue.Comment

I'm leaning towards black, I laid the fabrics together and they look good.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

The cover you posted is terrific--I had no idea the character was that old...

Captain Marvel had a previous costume that was green and is really old.Comment

^^^^ I already have a custom of him, so I was intrigued by the early covers by Gil Kane of the newer costume.
