About color

It will limited to 5

Navy blue I will make this for a prototype

Also think grey instead of rose gold .is there much people like rose gold ?

There's been a ton of rose gold lately so maybe pass on that one

I don’t think we need another vibrant color. You should go with silver for the last color.

Purple would be a great option, as there are many who are stocking parts to fit the upcoming GMK Laser. Something like this:

We may can choose brass instead of gold ,

That we can have purple or silver -

Board looks stunning, the renders you showed convinced me and the price point is really nice.  I'm in!   

3 main questions: 

  • MAO. Can we have it WHITE or eventually a dark purple? (both are very popular colors when offered).  I'm searching for a nice keeb with MAO White for a while now.
  • Brass weight engraving. I'm not really into that elephant (yeah i know is the name of the keeb, but still...), reminds me of the Gradle elephant. Would it be possible to have it BLANK or custom engraved (for extra money maybe?).
  • Not really much important but nice: Type-C? 



EDIT ABOUT COLORS:

Honestly Gold/Yellow or rose gold (since someone mentioned it) is not good if these colors excludes other popular colors. Even if someone requests it, these colors never ends up to be a popular choice in a GB.  Light green is unique (we don't see this color usually) so it might actually work even tho is not a top choice (popular choices are silver/black/dark grey). 

I'm not sure what colors you can do, but I suggest to go for MAO Purple/Dark Purple (not magenta pls!). Every set around or incoming is purple, too hot right now to skip it. 
MAO white is another one you might consider since you are not offering the silver version and many sets have white/light alphas and mao white is rare, so it's another color that might end up to be popular.

Agreed, at least need one relatively neutral option like silver or gray (preferably gray :D).

Yes, add to these 4 colors a nice dark purple like the Fjell or m65 and you have the perfect colors to go for.

This might come off weird, but silver is a very standard color. What really impressed me with your design and color choices is that it all stands out, and I feel that having silver as one of the options takes away from that big draw. With that in mind my personal suggestion for colors would be:

Navy Blue
MAO White
Lime Green
Pastel Blue

I know there are two blues in there, but the logic being one more standard fare color with hue to it, and 3 kinda more playful "fun" pastel colors. Though I do get the feeling a lot of people will not necessarily agree with that color list.

You're right, a lot of people won't agree with that list. But you know what a lot of people will like? Silver. you need standard color options to run a succesful GB IMO. in addition weird colous are harder to anodize well. Also I don't think you read the thread well because MAO and Navy blue are already both going to be options. Light green too.

His colors weren't final before except navy and lime and i didn't touched these 2. 

Also no, the white wasn't in the option at the moment of all my replies. Also MAO is not a color.

Personally I'd prefer if it's removed.

I know my opinion contradicts the opinions of some others on here but I do like the logo as it is and don't mind it on the bottom weight. I just don't like name tags (or any branding in general) on top of boards, I prefer to keep it clean.
