It is up to the designer/vendor to match the colors. That is why people get multiple samples, trying to find one that is matching closest to their desired color.

You're totally right -- I stand corrected. In that case, pitchforks and torches! \s

Lol. I was in the GB as well. While I like how the set looks in real life, it is definitely different than the renders. So, I think it would be nice to get some more info on what happened. Otherwise it is just designers/vendors making a mistake, and just going on to the next sale, since there are enough buyers anyways. (Extreme example of this was GMK PnC Light, so maybe we will get GMK Modern Dolch Light Light :p )

When you look at the swatches from this picture on the first page:
Then compare these colors to the final product, and the renders. It becomes clear that the renders were not an accurate representation of the color swatches used for color matching. To me, the final product looks pretty much an exact match to those swatches, which are noticeably darker/more saturated than the renders. It's too bad that the swatches were not shown in the IC phase to avoid something like this.

Finally got the time to inspect my set... and all I can say is I am incredibly disappointed.
The gray is 2-3x darker than the renders/marketingmaterial imply. The mod/esc key are about 50% more saturated.
The set looks nothing like the colors on the box art which is more of an accurate representation of what I (and many others) expected.

No way you can look at even the gray and say that looks anything like these: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0054/0878/4458/products/01_Standard_700x.png?v=1630693867
Super super disappointing.
I was under the impression that Omnitype is one of the best in the game in terms of color matching since you guys take it very very seriously by using scientific instruments. But something either went wrong with your color matching process, or these were the right colors all along and something went wrong with your renders and marketing material..
Can we as customers get an answer to what happened here?

I was considering getting one of the extras, but after seeing this I'm seriously thinking twice.
Could you take pictures under natural light (unless that was already)?
