[IC] - GMK Harlequin

[PoisonKing]

I don't know what I'm doing here. I had too much internet and I stumbled into an image of harlequin ice cream. It's a chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry flavored ice cream, also known as Neapolitan ice cream. I think it will look nice if the colors are used for a keyset.

The mock-up I made based on the colors of the ice cream is below.

I think this mock-up will be enough for 1800, 75%, WKL, and ISO layout.

And the colors used for this set are Pantone 7517 U, Pantone P 1-9 U, and Pantone 1777 U.

What do you guys think? Feel free to share your thoughts and comments

Very nice! I don't have a board to put it on, but I like it a lot.

this is so....neapolitan. pair it with white/silver/grey case as a representation of an ice cream cup.. and you got yourself a neapolitan ice cream!


yummy.


i like it.

Soft, calm, and neat colorway. I guess you're such a playboy  )

Alpha looks so creamy, I like it.

I like it, it's quaint but still a bit splashy due to the pink.  Only suggestion would be a 6u space and 00 key.

Reminds me more of Ice cream.

Looks nice. I'm not sure if the brown will turn out nice. I feel like it should be matte here.

I think it's a colorway that people will like, but I prefer the interpretation presented in the Banana Split board IC as a more attractive use of these colors:

There was an IC a few weeks/months ago taking inspiration from the same kind of ice cream: GMK Neapolitan.

I like it more than Harlequin because it has more pink and a stronger dark chocolate feeling. It reminds me of this (not really neapolitan):



GMK Neapolitan has not seen any update in a while, though.

I really like this proposed colorway, very subtle and creamy.

Doesn't really have enough pink/brown IMO.  I think if you were going for something like that it'd be better off with a distribution like this:

Oi!

Thanks. I'm also worried that the modifier color doesn't look like the one on my screen. I might change it to a darker shade of brown in future revisions.

Actually I made a 6u and 00 for my template but I didn't put them on this mock-up. I will add them on my next revision. Thanks for your suggestion

Same inspiration, different taste :)

Thanks. The aim is to create a creamy but not too soft colorway :D

Indeed. The limitation on the Banana Split version is the pink modifiers are an alternate for the proposed Chocolate & Banana scheme, which I think itself could potentially be a shade more yellow and bananary:

 

but no such limitatiuons here. PoisonKing can make this distinct version and as much or as little Neopolitan as he likes.

Also, I think there may be some potential here to play around with the legend colors a little, make some of them chocolate brown and create a sense of chocolate sauce being drizzled over the board?

This looks really good. Soft colors and creamy... I am going to end up eating my own keyboard.

[CandyKeys]

Looks great!

[Jmneuv]

Very nice, i think the colors are pretty perfect already. Have you decided on gmk color codes yet?

[TeHao]

so pretty

[mbljs5555]

Looks like strawberry and chocolate milk... najs

Needs more icecream novelties. Sadly, as previously mentioned, a few variants of this have already been attempted. Of all the similar sets though, this has to be my favorite colorway.
