Hey guys I hope you're all well. First of all I do want to apologize, it was due to my inexperience as a designer that this set has been delayed, on top of COVID-19 messing everything up.
But finally, the update you've been waiting for! USPS has been slow AF but Canada Post miraculously delivered the samples on a Sunday.
So basically here's the start to finish of how the sample process has been:
Krelbit received first samples, said the base colors were too dark. I messed up and didn't gauge the lightness correctly vs the renders with the RAL sheets I ordered. Typical amateur mistake with set designing.
In order to not mislead anyone with our advertising we decided to try our best to match with the renders. While I was in NYC, Olivia graciously helped out and lent her RAL book where I repicked the colors.
GMK sent us round 2 samples with the new colors and both Krelbit and I are happy with the blue and the gray we've now chosen. I don't have a calibrated display to confirm the exactness but I am confident that it is very close to what has been advertised. At the end of the day, it reminds me of Salter which is the end goal.
We will give GMK the okay to proceed with production ASAP!
Also currently no pics cuz I'm a god awful photographer.
