RAL7004 looks more grey than beige to me.  I tend to think of beige as being a bit more yellow than that.

Yeah, judging colors based off what they look like on screen isn't the most dependable. I'll probably be looking into getting an RAL booklet here shortly to be more accurate in my color picking, though they're a wee bit pricey.

I have to agree that RAL7004 looks more gray also.

I think RAL 9002 seems like beige to my eyes.



Btw, will there be an option for coil length? Would be weird if the coil is longer than a board itself (60%, 65% boards).

Is it possible to configure the cables with certain connectors at checkout? I am searching for a fancy micro usb cable for my phone. Only problem is that the connector needs to be fairly slim due to my (Not very well designed) phonecase.

RAL 7004 looks like itll match cherry mods quite well. I may be wrong but 9002 looks a bit light to me.

Personally a fan of 7032 or 7044, more partial to 7044.

Yeah, I'm liking 7044 more now that I look at it more. I'll probably list that as the beige of choice in the GB choices.

I painted this keyboard with RAL 1013 (Oyster white). OG Beige keycaps are for comparison.



Would you consider that paint for beige?
