Post your colorway concepts (keycaps, cases, etc.)

[Dianoda]

Have a crazy colorway concept that will probably never see production?  Great, then this thread is for you.  Post away.

I'll kick things off with a few of mine...

Do you have a template for these?

[Permeability]

Ducky Nordic did something similar to 4 

[Dubsgalore]

Of those, i would get #5

[Dianoda]

Do you have a template for these?

I do, kind of - more accurately, I have a series of ever-evolving and rather unwieldy photoshop (psd) files.  There's a master file where each legend is an individual layer, and then I have a few more where the legends are merged into a single layer, with an abundance of selective photo filters for producing the colorways.

I was going to say something about sharing, but that sound rather difficult.

I don't mind sharing, but I'd want Lysol/IvanIvanovich's approval first - with the exception of some of the graphical legends (ie, arrows, right click, windows), he's the one who made the cherry replica legends I used to make my templates.  Also, the files themselves aren't really useful unless you have a solid working knowledge of photoshop (and a copy of photoshop - I use CS6, but I suspect the files are compatible with earlier versions up to CS3 or CS4).

I worked as a Photographer for 3 years and was playing around with Photoshop before that, so I have a pretty good knowledge of Photoshop.  And if you don't have a copy of Photoshop, they should work with Pixlr.

Niiice.  That colorway was most definitely based on the Gulf GT40; looks really hot with the matching case.

Possibly oversaturated, but here you go:

[noisyturtle]

My concept was creamsicle, but that's in the works. That purple looks great though. Perhaps purple and yellow? Or black and gold! Or brown and forest green for a nature board. Ohhhhhh brown and green with a wood case would look incredible.

That's the way I like it.

Thank Dianoda. It's so beautiful *sniffles*

[Sifo]

double post -_-

[noisyturtle]

Are you creating these in Photoshop, or is there a specific tool you are using?

[nubbinator]

These are some I'd love to see made:



I love the whole dark green/forest green/whatever and white combo.  There was a real set similar in another thread that I saw.  The burgundy/wine and white I think would just look sexy and classy.

I love the cyan and grey combo, but got lost on what the mods would be.

And ever since I saw a lime green CODE button on a typewriter, I wanted a lime green and white or black mod set with white and lime green or black legends.  It would also be fun to toss in a handful of lime green on black caps.

I made most of (with intent to release all of them eventually) my legends of Cherry free to use for anyone, so if you want to post your template I have no problem with that at all.

Cool, if anyone wants a copy of my colorway template, send me a PM.  The file is a psd, so you'll need a copy of photoshop or other image editing program compatible with the psd file format to open it.

The version I am sharing has been streamlined somewhat and isn't quite as needlessly high res as my original set of templates (the original set used legends that were the same resolution as Ivan's originals, so the full layout ended up being around 190MP).  In addition to photo filter layers to adjust legend/keycap/case colors, the template also contains layers for hollow/bordered/striped legends if you want to mess around with those as well (although such designs would only be feasible to make using a dye-sub process).

I really like the Solarized theme http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized

where can I find a table that shows colorways color codes in relation to hex values or rbg codes?
I want to create a solarized theme on the kbcc here...

I would kill for a set like this (and yeah, I know I messed up in a couple of spots, I was learning the file):

Oh, and I forgot, we could also do a more toned down or super toned down Miami to get some Miami love going since it the real Miami is looking hard to make because of MOQs:

This reminds me of the Razer BW...

My 'dream' set would be the graphite Leopold keys with white legends, kinda like Dolch, to go on my FC700R. :p

It does, but my first thought was the Mionix Zibal 60.

I'm throwing money at the screen right now but it isn't doing anything :(

I haven't paid much attention to the toxic GB thread lately, but I'd definitely order a set if they are doing cherry legends.

They are waiting on the cherry replica legends! That is awesome and sad because it means it will take that much longer...but hopefully soon....I ordered one of everything in the set

This wouldn't be too bad either....not sure how neon green the legends can get but I'd like it anyways

Can someone do me a favour and mock up my LZ-S (like, Tealish? I guess) with imsto blue alphas and pink mods?

I wasn't sure what color to go with for the pink legends, but given that the valentines set had white legends, I went with that.

[baldgye]

all those legends should be white, then that would be hot
