Hello! I don't have any updates today, but I'm working on a few different things (deskmat designs, finding vendors and collaborators) and hope to post some updates in the next few weeks
Colour-matched samples are also being manufactured, really excited to see how those turn out!
Wasn’t a fan of this at first, but it’s growing on me.
I saw this set a while ago and thought the double theme (sewing and sweets) and the numrow accents were too much for me... but now I’m definitely converted and glad to see something different.
I hope the yellow won’t be too saturated. I think it looks great where it’s toned down with a bit of a cream/beige base tone. Most of the render colours don’t seem like a 1-1 match with the pantones, but likely just natural vs. artificial lighting?
Please don’t change the cookies kit for anything! I want so many macropads with it, and Coraline spooked me too much to use the buttons
I'm glad to hear the set's growing on people! Definitely a niche theme, but I've been happy seeing that many people also feel nostalgically about these cookie tins.
I'd say the yellow is definitely on the pastel side, but more of an orange/yellow then a cream/beige.
I definitely want to make sure that people can be confident about the colours in the set when thinking about joining the GB. I'm buying a lightbox to take better quality photos of the colour-matched samples, and also hope to get full prototype sets made before GB so you can see the entire set on a keyboard.
I'm concerned to hear the render colours don't seem like a match - could I ask what you're comparing them to, and if there's specific things that seem off? The renders were colour-matched to a physical Pantone fan. Like you mentioned, there are a bunch of different factors that affect the colours (the renders themselves use different lightings, as well as the monitor and lighting you're using to look at the render) but they should be pretty close.
If you're comparing them to the photos of the Pantone fans/swatches, this is less accurate than a physical pantone book - when I took the photos, the colours already looked a bit different after being photographed, and there's differences between the different photos too...I included them since I still thought they'd be helpful, but I'm hoping that the lightbox helps with this problem.
And noted for the cookies kit! It's been much more popular in the IC than I expected as well, it's definitely here to stay
