PROJECT PAGE (https://dixiemech.com/gmk8008)
There are many ways to design things and everyone does it in different ways. Some people sit down, grind it out and try to force out a design just for the sake of making something, although this usually doesn't yield the best results. I am usually on the side of being inspired by things that I encounter throughout my daily life.
This set design really found me instead of me finding it.
I saw a sports bra.
GMK 8008 was born.
STORY:
I was on vacation last year and walked through a store with my wife and saw a sports bra hanging on clothing rack. I was immediately inspired to make this keyset. I have been working on it for a few months to get everything just right and I really think that this set just works. The moment I got the final color swatches chosen, I immediately knew it was one of my best so far.
FINAL KITS
This set will use the new modifier legends Janglad and I have created. See a better explanation on the 9009 R3 IC (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=101623.0).

ORIGINAL POST

The mods are a dark navy-grey, the alphas are a light blue-grey, and the pink is a bright highlighter pink.
I have already chosen the swatches and confirmed them with GMK.
The kits may be changed a little.
SECOND UPDATE
More
This set us still a few months out, so it will not be during this GMK frenzy this quarter. Most likely Q3.
We will have a special artisan offering with this set that you have not seen before.
Code for signature if you would like to help support this project! :)

I may be in the minority here, and it's obviously just my own taste in colors...
But would you consider giving the alphas a paler shade of white like below?

Imo the concrete-like color will make the neon pink pop more than the brighter color you suggested does

I love your modifiers and accents. The alphas though... yeah.

The lighter color looks good too. I think your sample was a little too white, but something a tad lighter than the gray color in the current renders might be nice.

BOOB-BOOB-BOOB
Nah in all seriousness, this is great.
SA next year?
+1 for SA. I think this set would look great as SA.

+1 — go SA - but maybe run them parallel ? Then we may get these from SP next year
-1 run in this profile instead

Hah, hah. When I see 8008 in text, it doesn't really make me think of the word boob, but when I glanced at this deskmat, it looked like it had BOOB written all over it.
