Hey guys, it's time for another update. I'll try to keep it short and sweet.
The new color samples are in and they look delicious. They are nice and yellow and creamy without any of the green tinge that was present in the R1 samples. In fact, looking at them side by side, I am very glad that we decided to do a R2. All in all, the team is very happy with how the new samples have turned out. We have found a color that is a great match for this set, the initial inspiration and the renders, and is definitely about as close as we can get using RAL Design colors. So we are going ahead and approving this color, together with the red from R1, which was great from the get-go.
This means that Yugo is now finally ready to go into production. We'll follow up with GMK to see what sort of timeline we're now looking at.
Thanks again for your patience and support, everyone. We are super excited to see Yugo go into production, and we can't wait for you guys to get the set in your hands!
Here are some photos of the new and old samples.
Please keep in mind that photos, like renders, can never be 100% accurate. That is also the case here. While these photos have been graded and come close to the real thing, the colors still look a bit different (and, imo, nicer) in person. Also keep in mind that the Macbeth chart printout is only a there as a rough reference, since I couldn't get hold of an original ColorChecker.
That being said, enjoy:
