Zidonaro Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 It was on Bricklink Hau gallery Does someone know if this was misprint or something ? I tried to search for it on the internet but couldn't find anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Kohran Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Can you link to the page this image appears on? I've looked at BrickLink's page for the Hau piece and I can't find either that image or any indication of one in orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Kohran Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Thanks. At first I too thought it was just a red one with bright lighting making it look orange, but seeing that red is already listed, separately, makes me wonder if there's actually more to this. Perhaps an orange misprint was sold on there at some point using that image? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bfahome Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Most likely the person who added that image misjudged the mask's color. It looks way more like a washed-out red Hau than an orange Hau. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prowl Nightwolf Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 well regardless of how it became orange it is clear that it is now. Now it seems odd when you click on it, there is no mention of an orange Hau for sale. Well there is 4 listed on the wish list column. but being un-clickable I don't know about that.

That's what "washed-out" refers to. It is a completely unchanged red Hau that was photographed in less-than-ideal conditions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makaru Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) So I stuck this in Aviary, and all I did was mess with the brightness (no saturation or hue or nothing) and It's pretty red.

Bfahome Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 That doesn't even look like bad lighting to me, it just looks like a regular Hau. It would appear that they are different.The thing is that the light conditions vary between those two images. The one on the right is probably under a brighter, more yellow light than the one on the left. Lighting is a tricky thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letagi Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 To follow up on what Sir Kohran said - not only is the lighting in the photo not very good, but the human eye is easily tricked by these things. Try this: cover the right three-quarters of the orange-looking Hau with a finger, leaving only the left quarter visible. It's almost as red as the other picture, but you don't notice it at first because the brain basically averages out the colour gradient. -Letagi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A less-than-stellar camera in less-than-stellar lighting is all you need to get weird colors. I've been questioned about my "teal" Hau before, which is the result of a crummy Tracfone camera and one-window lighting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Kohran Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) What if it's an instagram filter or something?The picture has been around since before Instagram launched (in October 2010). Interesting that it's in a folder called 'bionicle misprints' and is clearly entitled 'orange_hau'. If the account owner himself took the photo, it'd pretty much have to be an orange misprint for it to be there, unless he wanted to trick someone. Or maybe the photo was taken by someone else of a red one, and the account owner simply mistook it for orange and included it in the folder.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I agree that it looks like bad lighting but if an orange Hau does exist, someone must find it. Just... where would it have come from? Mis-print? -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prowl Nightwolf Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Correct me if I am wrong but doesn't red and orange color on camera due to general yellow lighting one shows up as the other in unfiltered pictures? I am thinking it is red that doesn't photograph well in it's natural color giving it an orange-ish tint. I'm going to have to agree that while it does look quite orange I am going to have to agree with most of the posters here in that it is a poor photographing and not an actual Orange Hau. Though there is the option that while this could have somehow been a misprint if it is legit it could be a bootleg copy someone made from a Hau mold and then just poured Orange instead of a normal color.
