I chose pearl blue, but I won't be using the aluminum plate. I got an extra brass plate and I think I'm gonna have another special kind of plate for this board :thinking:

The parts seem not yet live - or am i missing something ?
Sorry I can't confirm or describe colors relative to color names, I don't have color samples. I have a blue one at home but I'm not sure which blue that is.
I think I will just be safe and go with grey. Hopefully I won't regret it.

I think its also really shows the facets very well.The only thing that turned me away from it was that I thought that the seam between the top and bottom was a little too apparent due to the light color. I could just be imagining it as well !

The Poseidon blue however looks more like the apple space grey... at least that silver looking color is what I thought the grey was...

The Poseidon blue however looks more like the apple space grey... at least that silver looking color is what I thought the grey was...No I don't think that silver is the grey that is being offered. In fact, I don't think silver is even an option in this buy. At any all this confusion just kind of goes to show that they should maybe have clarified which colors are which a bit better.Edit: Actually, this has kind of got me thinking...that silver color might actually be the grey being offered. I really hope they can clarify some of this.
So I got a reply from Alex this morning with more info on poseidon. Hopefully I'm not bombing this thread with too many photos. It also appears that the moon grey actually is more of a silver color, as noted in one of the photos where it shows up with the poseidon in the background.
Super helpful !! Thanks !I can catch a glimpse of the red in the last picture, and I feel like its darker/deeper(which I prefer) than the product shots on the website. The product shots seem very washed out and overexposed for some reason.also - Posiedon "Blue" - I honestly cant see the blue here - maybe my eye s are going as well ! Oh well.

Oh well.I think it looks like there's a touch of green in there. Keeping my Poseidon Blue order, since it looks more unusual than the other colors. Not sure what keyset to pair it with. Was thinking Troubled Minds at first, but we'll see!

As for that red, I don't think that's a Kira, the bezels are too thick and the corner is rounded.
At any rate, in my haste, I put in an order for moon "grey", thinking it was closer to a macbook grey. I wonder if I can still change...

I wish Zfrontier would update the product shots with less "touched up" versions. Something from a phone under natural light would be best.Quote from: Etherealsound on Fri, 28 September 2018, 15:01:16At any rate, in my haste, I put in an order for moon "grey", thinking it was closer to a macbook grey. I wonder if I can still change...I think you should be able to. Have you emailed Alex again ? Do you know him or did you just reply to the priority buy link ?If you do know him, could you please ask for a couple of shots of the red ?

Oh well.It's definitely not just you. It looks super grey with just a hint of green in some of the photos.

Any suggestions on which color would fit the SA Space Cadet / Symbiosis 2.0 keycaps well?I think the blue is a bit too light to match that set?

IMO, if there were "Dark/Space Grey" available it would be the best match. However, I believe black could serve as an fair alternative. (Attachment Link)

Since other members already shared photos from Alex,I'll post one that seems to be omitted - Pearl Blue sample. (Attachment Link)

(Attachment Link) Yoooo this looks WAY different in product page... if I wanted to change colors how would I go about doing that? Just email Alex?
Alex has been awesome in responding to emails about colors - here is the red :

any update on the matching numpad?
