[IC] GMK CYL Astraeus | First Metal Keycap Collab!
konstantin:
RE sublegends: Have you considered using astrological and alchemical symbols? This would require new molds to be made (unless you opt for UV printing), which would increase the overall cost, but I think it would work a lot better with the theme of the set.

I believe this is intentional. A couple of years back, during the period of peak GMK popularity, sets that did well in GB were being readily cloned by Chinese manufacturers and sold through sites like Taobao, AliExpress and eBay, sometimes months or years before the original sets even shipped, so designers stopped publicly disclosing color references in hopes of curtailing this issue. I'm not sure how much of a problem this is nowadays, but I suspect it may have had something to do with the designer deciding against posting color codes for this set.

Doesn't look like it. WS2 is strikingly, take-your-eyes-out white, whereas this is more of a pale lavender color.

What physical color standards do you have? I don’t have dragon witch but can send you example keys of the others if you want.
Seems like 3 key 40s or 4 key, don’t know what that community likes, would be ok to add for base.

Hello, as mentioned the set is made using RAL Design colors. I chose them from my RAL D2 Book which helps me to match the colors as accurate as possible.

This is up to the designer's choice if they want to post the colors or not. When it comes to me, when you post your colors on the IC, your design might get stolen by different manufactures and can be sold at a lower price with a lower quality(as mentioned by konstantin). This case happened to me with my first ever ever set, GMK Blossom , my only set which had the colors posted on the IC.
