First round of samples came in! After some time to evaluate them I've decided to ask for another round of both, the main issue I'm looking to address is gold looking really pale and bright. Feedback was given to GMK and we're currently waiting on updates.
Here's a picture, however take this with a grain of salt as color variance between screens may be significant.

How are the colours chosen? Pantone colourbook?
Hello, it is me here to update the thread. Here is the last update from the designer's discord (apologies for no screenshot, a homie sent me this, I am not in the discord):

M&C:
Vendors are in discussion with GMK regarding the situation, I will share further details as soon as I'll be able to. There's no set timeline currently, but I'm expecting a more concrete update next month which will likely coincide with something from GMK.
Deskmats:
Mykeyboard is supposed to handle the mats but communicating with them is a nightmare, they still have to answer me after approving the latest samples. I'm not sure if they already collected payments from other vendors so the situation regarding those is still unclear.
Asero:
Asero informed me a while back artisans were going into production, however I still have to get an update about the current status.
Speculation on set availability going forward:

What this implies to me is the set is going to end up in a similar spot to the MW gbs that have already been sold through MW's storefront, where other vendors are going to buy out M&C's stock of the set and resell. This will be nice for those who missed the set, but for GB spot holders I would assume you would have to pay for the set again in some fashion. My warning from a month ago stands, please dispute the charges. F for all the gang that also got screwed.
See you in the next one.
