Teal looks great, and think the grey is fine slightly darker, I think you should really go with what makes you happy though. The slightly darker is a little easier to read, but the lighter grey has always been your goal, and I think it would look really good with light grey legends.
I'm not as concerned with legibility of alphas, do what you think looks best!
I agree with you both- we've waited this long and I want it to be everything Switchnollie and Sherry want it to be. Honestly, I can live with the set either way.
However, blanks are one thing... if there are legends they should be a little visible. Sorry, Sherry, but Chronicler really missed as a set for this reason alone, I believe.
For my money as well, if you guys do decide to ask for a different color- can you confidently do it without seeing another sample? The delays don't bother me a ton, but at the pace of GMK on this particular project, more samples will push this into a May 2018 delivery. I do have a build I want to use this set on eventually. Just my nickel.
Seriously though Switch and Sherry- thanks for seeing this set through- it is going to be bad-ass whatever you guys decide in the end.
