Good evening everybody!
For all of you that don't know, I'm from Brazil. Today I was meant to provide the exact color codes for our GB - however I couldn't get my color ring since my college administration didn't allow me to get in my dorm (even though I had the form correctly filled). My university isa Federal institution, that is currently on lockout/strike, so everything is a mess. I basically drove 180 km for nothing.
Neverthless, while I don't have the color ring in my hands, I'll leave the codes that I had previsouly chosen, long time ago, when I initially designed the keyset.
These colors can change, I'm gonna match the mockups. According to my files, these are the tones I used for the project.
> White - WW (pure white) > Blue - BFN (sky blue) > Orange - ON (vivid orange) > Black - NN (pure black) > Red - RR (vivid red)
For all of the non-standard users, I'd like to remind you that I'm currently talking with Massdrop about the following additions to the drop:
- Text legended arrow keys to the Planck kit (8 keycaps, 4 on blue and 4 on orange); - Legended Ergodox kit (full kit on blue, full kit on orange); - Non-standard bottom row for Logitech G710/Corsair Kx0 users; - 4 x 1.25u blanks (1 in each color of the drop) to the blank kit.
I apreciate your patience and support, as I'm trying to provide you everything you want.
Have a wonderful weekend!

MiToText arrows for Planck would be great. Would match better than the arrows from the 1337 kit.

MiToYou are totally missing the stand-alone red rekt key there ;) I think that's the only key people would really want the option to buy as a single addon to their sets. I do really appreciate your efforts and that you provided the color-codes though.
I am curious why you insist on using such a dark background for all your renders when you have black keys in there that are pretty much indistinguishable from the background?

I am not a keycap maker, I'm a keyset designer.
The REKT keycap is one of my creations for a novelty themed pack of keycaps, so they need to be sold on the novelty pack - together with my other creations.
Regarding the black background, if you have access to any device different from your PC you're gonna see that the black keycaps are perfectly distinguishable from the black background. If you have any tablet around, or phone, give it a try and you will see. If the black keycaps are indistinguishable from the black background then your monitor is absolutely descalibrated. And that worries me a bit, because if it is descalibrated then you're having an erroneous perception regarding the blue, orange and red tones which are present in the keyset.
Many of you are reporting the background as black when it's in fact 90% grey. The keycaps are black (NN solid black). The background, is not.
I can contact the Massdrop team and provide a lighter tone for the background, if needed. Just let me know!
Thank you very much for the support and patience, we are having a wonderful buy so far!

MiToColor is subjective. Try telling your mom her hair is grey, because it isn't NN solid Black.
Comparing colors on any RGB device to actual printed colors is always a challenge. Which is probably why you are waiting for color samples to confirm your color choices.
It would be nice if Signature Plastics listed Pantone equivalents, since more people have access to swatch books.

A0.CMy mother is a redhead, I told her that her hair is orange and she said yes.
Joking, I understand your point as the color tones always bring a discussion. Unfortunately, SP do not provide Pantone colors, but at least they have color samples.
But to all of you that are concerned about tones, I'm trying to bring a "close to real" representation here. If there's anyone still hesitating because of color tones, I kindly ask you to just trust me - as I know what I'm doing.
I designed PuLSE without a color ring and the finished product is 100% exact to what I wanted it to be. Some people complained but I provided the most accurate mockups that I could possibly make, and the vast majority of the customers loved the keyset.
I will deliver something great for you to display on your keyboard (not only you, @A0.C - I'm talking to everyone here) and that's a gurantee.

MiToHow about a non-standard 6U spacebar with off-center stem to fit the variations of Cherry G80-1800? :)

CriticalObserverI'd like to provide, however the manufacturer does not have such spacebar.
