Planck Keycap Set for Cherry MX - DyeSubbed or Blank?

These look fantastic. The lack of legends and characters has prevented me from jumping on a Planck. Massdrop please make this happen.

How about something like this?
http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/gists/2d2c2b461ca0beb45ca10ec83083058e Base and modifier colours are the same as Granite, sans the addition of a red Esc key (PBT RBH, same as the ctrl key), and a red return key (PBT colour RAM). (base granite: GKK (alphas), GDE (modifiers), RBH (esc, ctrl), VAZ (shift), BCT (alt), BLACK (legends)).
The "lower" modifier key is PBT colour VCG. The "upper" modifier key is PBT colour OAL. The additional legends these keys activate match the keycap colour.

So would that be a Triple-shot injection on some of those keys? Does that add greatly to the cost?

Quad shot. 3 legend colours + keycap colour. Since basically no-one does triple/quad shot injection moulding without custom tooling (eg: not SP/GMK), yep.. massively expensive.
As all the legends are darker than the base keycap, dyesubbing should be definitely possible however and shouldn't cost too much more. Unsure if SP does multi colour dyesubbing (wouldn't imagine why they wouldn't however).

why not custom color dsa pbt whithout legend?
The purpose of this poll is to see if there is any interest in getting a custom DyeSubbed keycap set for Planck, that prominently features the upper and lower key functions, on the key. There are lot of folks just using blank keys, which is OK, but what about those of us that can't blank on our Plancks? For those that are using Signature Plastics legended keycpa sets for Planck, currently those people are spending a lot of money buying multiple expansion packs to get the Planck pieces, which is wasteful and expensive.
My unicorn would be DSA Granite with icon RGB modifiers in 1U, along with the DyeSubbed uppers and lowers as mentioned. However I'd be happy to see any DyeSubbed set for Planck come out, in any key profile and/or color scheme. Something close to Granite would probably be ideal, as it's less of a themed set (like Troubled Minds or Jukebox), and more of an every-day set with good style and timeless looks.
The default planck layout can be found here: http://www.keyboard-layout-editor.com/#/layouts/d31dc4048e2dade0da36cbea0703ba73
Although if there are any other popular planck layouts, let's add those to the poll too.
