Nice colors. The 1.75 backspace in the 40s kit should actually be R2. It is for the minivan, correct?
Are you sure? The PnC 40s kit was recommended by the 40s community. Would like if someone can chime in with actual evidence otherwise it will stay the same.
For reference:

Yes, I'm pretty sure. The 1.75 backspace in 40s kits is R2 and is for the Minivan (also the Planck uses a 1u backspace on R2). These are my 2 most used 40% boards, so that's why I noticed. And I created the 40% Discord...so there was probably discussion there a while back about about a good 40s kit. Anyhow, the set looks great and I hope it does well. :thumb:

Thanks for clarifying, I will have those re-rendered and will submit the corrected files to GMK post gb close.
It's more than just the 1.75 backspace whose row is marked incorrectly. All the R1 keys in the 40s/Ortho kit should be R2, and the row labeled R2 should be R3. Keep everything else about the kit as-is -- it's great. Especially keep all the space keys convex!
Compare to other recent sets with similar 40s/Ortho kits.

Sending these out to get tested.
Amazing, looks great, excited!
TLDR: The alpha sample is spot on and passes the test. The mod sample is slightly darker/saturated (going to request second sample)

The important values to note here are DELTA values. The RAL swatch was re-recorded to check for consistency and the readings from the keycap was from the side of the cap where the texture would interfere the least.
This makes me feel proud as a scientist in training
Hell yeah for doing quantitative studies on this!
