Trapped in an elevator.

[Anvaen]

So I reached a place filled with fluorescent colors.
I took an elevator an solved a couple of puzzles in it, but it broke when I solved the puzzle again (you can see there's a damaged cable in the image below) so now I'm stuck in a room with blue and green fluorescent light.

Is there a way to fix the elevator? I explored the room and it seems that's the only way out.

It'd be great if you could give me a hint instead of the answer, but I'll take the answer too. Thank you in advance.

I'm in the same place. I have a bad feeling that it involves figuring out the next progression of colors based on the previous patterns for each floor

[Citrus]

look at the floor above you, then you see a colour, now imagine how the colours on the panel would look like a floor above you

[Bradley]

Random patterns seem to send it back down if you want to leave.

[Citrus]

you need to get to the highest floor to activate the laser, so you cannot simply skip it forever

[Anvaen]

Interesting... thank you for the hint Citrus, I'll try it out.
Bradley, thank you, now I can leave that forsaken room, though I'll keep trying to crack it.

Edit: solved it, both of you were right about figuring out the next colors.

[Bradley]

well... I've got a whole page of notes in front of me now tracking every color under each lighting condition, and I still have no idea. My command of color spaces is lacking.

[Bradley]

well, holy crap. my very next random guess was the right answer.

[Devilmoon]

Care to give an hint as to how the color progression works? Seems totally random to me

[Archaenet]

Haha, that one was interesting. I'm stuck on the top floor. I've solved every variant of this puzzle but it just seems impossible now... Any hints would be appreciated.

[Bradley]

Some very basic hints:
It works kind of like those secret code glasses that let you see messages in different colors of ink. Each color light brings out the component colors of the paint. For example, Red light shining on a Blue paint looks Black, because Blue reflects no Red light. Red light on White paint looks red because white paint reflect red light. The ability to visualize rgb color spaces is very helpul.

There are the "real" colors of each dot under white light:

13304
10204
10204
00033

0 = no color
1 = Aqua
2 = Magenta
3 = White
4= Yellow

If you want to get right to teh top, the answer is:

UUUUURDDDDRUUURDDDRRULUUUR

Thank a lot for the info man, I'll get working on it as soon as I return to the elevator

I can't figure this out. I have never ever had to learn any RGB coding out of my head, I cannot believe that they expect people to even know that. How can I, out of my head without being able to visualise it, see how the dots change colour?

I'm still stuck on that broken cable and I really cannot solve it :'(

[Citrus]

actually, it's quite intuitive from what i can remember, i did it at first try when i saw the current colours and thought, two of those colours should look the same when seen in the light the floor above, tried it and worked

Also! Super impossible for colourblind people like me!

I'm have normal vision, but I was thinking about that while I was working on this puzzle.
