Alphas need some work imo. Doesn’t have the contrast with mods as pointed out above.
It's the other way around - PBTfans caps on the boards, GMK samples.
Ah, that's a bummer. I prefer the GMK samples. The PBTFans caps are too warm in their tone for my taste.
ehhhhh not feeling these new colors.
OG ones looked FAR better. way too little contrast between alphas and mods now.
As I stated for this set's run, it was my decision to bring the alpha and mod color closer in terms of matching saturation, and I think comparing the alpha and mod saturation, it looks more matching/pleasing in real life compared to R1. The alphas remain pretty much the same lightness, it's just the modifier color that is lighter compared to R1.
The saturation/color shift was also determined in part by me revisiting the original theme of the set, Umbreon. Ultimately, I decided to match the theme a little more color-wise as opposed to directly mirror the R1 colors.
Also, keep in mind that these are images, and lighting will affect how these colors are perceived. I don't think many users will be bathing their keyboard in direct sunlight anyways...
Overall, I feel like the renders here represent the set pretty well. I'm working to tweak the renders so they match the samples as close as possible, and those will be released soon. I pitched this interest check going off of the assumption that people would give feedback according to the colors in the renders I provided; there were no complaints in that time about the color decisions so I went forward. I only provided the samples from R1 for those curious to see the colors. Here's another shot, with neutral desk lighting:
