I will be holding a very small giveaway raffle for those who join in the first 24 hours. It will be a small bundle of stickers, enamel pin, and an artisan cap by Latrialum!

For those of you curious about the process, I will ask for order numbers from the vendors, do the raffle, and mail the respective vendor the giveaway items so that no private information like names and addresses will be revealed to me.

[Simen]

the price is fixed or future discount will be provided based on MOQ hit ?

Price is fixed since logistics of refunds for everyone at higher MOQ's is a nightmare.

Just ran giveaway for day one joiners!
If anyone is concerned about the number discrepancy (176 day one vs 166 giveaway) I just used the order numbers provided to me by the vendors so that is out of my control.

Giveaway winner for stickers, pin, and Latrialum artisan is DM3411.
Second winner for stickers and pin is DM3379.

You can see the video process of how I did it on my Instagram stories.

Question about the intentions regarding color-matching the peachy-pink color - is there going to be an emphasis on adding a touch of gray to the mix to reflect the muted render look?  Not too "clean" of a pastel color?

I'm not sure what you mean exactly by adding a touch of grey? I have posted an image of a plastic chip in the Pantone color that I sent to SP for an exact color match (disclaimer on color difference across screens etc etc) and they have matched it pretty on the dot. That's the color that the blush pink will be and that is the same color used for renders, the renders look slightly different under different lighting conditions. Hope that helps!

What I meant was this, which seems often overlooked for color-matching muted colors:

More

- Here's your photograph of the pantone chip, which I've very roughly color-corrected with the assumption that the label is "pure white" (more or less):



Using an eyedropper tool to get the color values of the "pink" chip in Photoshop a new window opens showing a color gradient from the measured color value in multiple directions.

Going left-to-right, there's a saturation gradient, and going down top to bottom is a brightness/darkness gradient, which I also colloquially call for the purpose of mixing plastic as "adding gray" to the mix until the result is basically black. 

Your pantone chip has some "gray component" to it already.  I always hope that when GMK sets renders show muted pastel colors, the color matching also focuses on getting a "murky" enough hue to preserve the render look that we use to judge what we might be getting.  Most sets come out more saturated and "clean" than the renders, with less "gray" component by percentage than renders show.  That more murky pastel is what gives the more muted vintagey color, as opposed to a "clean" pale peachy pink.  To illustrate that, here's the same photograph of the pantone chip with a square of new color overlaid on top, with less "gray" and more saturation:



This illustrates the difference I very frequently see between renders and finished product: higher saturation and less of the gray component.  I'd say most sets suffer from this inconsistency.

From your analysis, I would assume you know that taking a photo of a color swatch on a screen too seriously, is not going to give you true results. The actual Pantone color value is in the photo. So to make it much simpler than what you said, that color is what it will be lol.
