Well, I just voted for blue across the board. Blue is the only color (besides black, white, grey) that doesn't clash with any other color. But, I'd prefer a lighter blue rather than the RGB blue.  Beggars can't be choosers though. :-)

Some really cool colour options there Dan! Hoping the vote is good! Although, that means I'm also hoping some retailers come through with standard mod kits.

Still laying in bed but I'll update results thus far later.

Regarding the modifier set, there arent any standard colors because we believe industrial manufacturers and other retailers will be releasing full sets in original colors.  Either that will happen or a future gb on GH will include those mods as part of an original full set.

The modifier pack isnt intended to be a true moogle kit or tsangan kit, but more a holistic unique modifier pack to fit the same profile as your existing sets.

What legends will be used for the mods?
I prefer symbols only over symbols + text.

AFAIK, we haven't discussed this so far but already polling on the colours on legends we don't know how they look?

I think symbols only just look so much better.

Backspace symbol, also used in Round4, IIRC.

I hope black on red isn't a "standard" color! I really want to buy anything that will have a black legend, and none of the options in the poll had that Q_Q

Probably because there was just a cherry profile PBT dyesub groupbuy so a bunch of people already got caps with black legends recently. I'm sure there will be black legends in the future =D.

The color choices were what seemed to be the most popular suggestions from the earlier thread. If you do not care for those that is why the OTHER box exists. If I see enough of the same things from other choice, I will make it a selectable option.

There is not white/black and black/beige because I thought people would be interested in something new and different and put some color into their life. We will be doing full set in the spring, and of course those colors will be available then.

I can repurpose my Red Cherry mock-ups in about ten minutes, though I won't be able to do it until tonight.  If you have any actual color codes that would be awesome.

Looks good hashbaz, just need to remove the text from tab, shift, enter, backspace and use the lock icon for the caps lock key and it would be what we are planning on using legend wise. Some of the colors are in the colorchip photo, otherwise use your best judgement.

Yesplz.  That way I can make possible adjustments to Klaxon to see if we want a full set that looks like our favorite ESC key.

I've updated some 'at a glance' results on the 2nd post.  Green, purple, blue and red seem to be the most popular variants.  I'm working on getting the results into a chart in excel and **** so stay tuned after Day 1.

Right now all their codes and color samples and stuff are filed into decades of folders, unarchived, unorganized, etc.  They're working on getting a digital representation of all their documentation including legends and colors.  We've been promised all that information =)  I just don't think it'll come soon enough...

I wish I still had access to a pantone book, I'd be able to get numbers fairly easily then.

From what I gathered from the info given regarding colors, is they can source them from several suppliers, and color codes can differ from place to place for the same color. So using something that is standard like RAL or Pantone would probably be a good idea and they can use that info for closest non custom color. If hell bent on exact shade, custom color can be had, but the price could be quite high.

Please refrain from ballet stuffing however, having your dead relatives vote for your favorite colorway is not cool. Also, if I notice someone enter multiple times I will invalidate all of your votes. :) Play fair.

Classic symbols without text as found on most European set. In my photo it shows a DELETE key, which is not included in this pack. Backspace will have the left pointing arrow.
That photo is however an excellent example of what the white on green set would look like.

Caps lock will have the lock icon not 'caps lock' on it.

Numrow without symbols is what my original idea was for the numrow pack so it would be universal. I also think it is more aesthetically pleasing as it is uniform with the alpha keys.
Correct the 'hand bag' lock icon.

Very funny Soarer, the autocorrect took over in a wrong way. It should have been ballot obviously.
