R2 Samples are finally, finally here.
Let me start by saying sorry on behalf of all the delays. Also, let me say sorry for one last delay, which I'll detail below.
Here are the latest samples, along with the previous samples:
Here is my proposed fix side by side:
Good news:
Accents base colors and legends are in line with my expectations.
Modifier colors are warmer than my expectations (compared to the chip), but they do fit with the accents.
Bad news:
Alpha base color is too cool / blue, and is now outside of my expectations.
Delay:
I need one last alpha color sample.
I was targeting WS2, which is quite blue in person, but now I'm changing course and targeting WFK. That is the blank cap in the pictures, and the side by side with the mod color.
I'm not thrilled with this choice; however, I personally I like that color combo more than WS2 + The Chip, and I feel this is a reasonable compromise to get this set done and in your (hopefully, not angry) hands after a year (plus whatever time remains).
