My uploads got rejected because"Althought they have a strong base", they need "polishing" and I need to "turn down the saturation". Here's what they looked like..

(Recolurs of F-P' Audi R8)
I did them in these colours because I like them that way, I dont understand the saturation thing. Can anyone help?

Saturation just means that the colors are "too bright", so they seem unrealistic..
I think they look great.

Saturation means the colors are too intense - and on a monitor (which is light based color vs. real items, which... reflect light to show color) they will look almost 'glowing' in game.
At any rate, 'saturation' is a setting that can be adjusted in apps like photoshop and many others. Go look for it and try sliding the slider down a bit, making the colors a touch duller/grayer. Not a lot, they can still be colorful, but not near glowing.

I just re-did one of these and turned the saturation down and it really kills the color. I thought these looked good in game. they dont have any glow effect at all.

Ok, I re-made all my recolours.
Here is a comparison of the 2 sets. The lighter are the newer ones and the darker are the old. Do you think they are ready for re-upload yet?

I like them, Lots!
the Orange one's my favorite, See how better the colour is?
The green could use some more work though, Changing the colour to a 'Tree' or 'Lime' Would make it nicer, And more realistic!
Instead of a 'RaveAgainstTheMachineNeonGreen' :) But apart from that It looks Great!

The green is actually right where I want it. I was going for a more Tuner style coloring for these anyway. I like bright colored cars that stand out, even if some people think they are obnoxious ;)

Oh, I thought you were just making some "filler inner" sets! Go ahead then, I don't see why not!
