[IC] GMK Lux | LIVE!

[Ensaum]

Errr.. That looks straight yellow in the renders. I was originally interested in Lux as a black and gold colorway, but this ain't it. It's grey and yellow :/

They are renders. Zambumon says it will be gold, so I'd wait for some colour samples before writing it off

See Zambs above comments dismissing people for the color change because it's "his take on the design." It's not just because of the renders and he has literally said it's not black anymore because cr is too dark..

So, just to get it straight I can't make color changes to the set to fit more with what I'd want for it.

You can do whatever you want. This is your set now I guess. Just don't be surprised when people get upset that you completely changed the set they where originally interested in. This is a nice looking set, and if had called it anything besides "Lux" I don't think there would be as much backlash. However, as it is, everyone who was interested in a black and gold set are now being shoehorned into a gray and yellow set. Glwgb, but this is now longer GMK Lux imo.

Time to call RAL and tell them that the darkest color they have (RAL 000 15 00 - Ink black) isn't black.

Actually, the darkest color RAL offers is RAL 9005 - Jet Black, which is actually darker than cr, lol. I fail to see how RAL has anything to do with Lux's color change, but nice red herring I guess.

- That's RAL Classic, not RAL Design (000 15 00 is from the Design palette), which is the one GMK and I have been used RAL D8 for the last two years with excellent results, so I will stick to it.
- On your previous comment you said that the set is gray. I guess I will have to ask GMK if we can use Vanta Black, because otherwise it won't be real black.

[Hell-es]

Vantablack 2.0 please

[Ensaum]

You never specified it had to be from RAL Design in your original comment. It was never even stated that you picked this RAL in the op. You just said it's the darkest color they have which is still false.

On your previous comment you said that the set is gray. I guess I will have to ask GMK if we can use Vanta Black, because otherwise it won't be real black.

Nope, I would just prefer if it where a darker black like the cr originally shown. Also my main concern is still the gold color which now looks bright yellow.

[002 DC]

ne render with gmk honk avail??

GMK uses RAL design colors to colormatch, so that's the best thing to look at when asking for colors

and something tells me you don't have a physical book of chips to look at, whereas i know for a fact zambu does

[lemongrassii]

Do you already have specific RAL colours in mind for this? Your post describes it as a take on "an elegant and luxurious black and gold GMK set" but right now it's just looking very yellow to me instead of golden, I feel like a more mustardy/desaturated/darkened yellow would suit the theme better.

[Ensaum]

Good to know. That was never specified.

Nope. All I have is a render with significantly different colors from the original set and Zumbumon saying he intentionally changed the design.

So the black isn’t black but dark grey / not really black. Any idea if it’s comparable to epbt “black”? Since that’s called black but really isn’t that black.

And is it yellow? Gold? Comparable with Phantom yellow or Red Samurai gold?

@Zambu; any chance you could answer this? Especially concerning the yellow. I'm considering buying the set to go on my J01 and have seen both Red Samurai accents on it (look really good) and Phantom yellow accents on it (looks ****).

OK, I wasn't commenting on the "black" (I actually personally prefer a lighter shade). The yellow looks pretty golden to me... Just compare this to PBT Hive (also to run soon, which is unfortunate).

The yellow looks significantly different though too. It was originally listed and rendered as Pantone 16-0836 TPX, which is a much darker gold than the bright yellow we have now.

Yeah the old gold color is way better, IMO.
This is just GMK Mustard

Not actually a bad looking color from what I can see on a computer. I've always been a fan of 'Harvest Gold' (and really nonmetallic gold in general).

Actually RAL 080 70 60 is a bit less yellow a bit less yellow than his renders seem to suggest. And Ink Black is indeed a very dark black (both images with a CR cap for reference).

no.

[kaisn]

Mhhh maybe if I can use it on my kn10 e-yellow

[1391401]

if people are saying the renders are inaccurate I wonder how the color actually looks - I got a polaris in e-yellow and am looking for a set for that

[thornkin]

Any chance of some vim keys?

[Zambumon]

Any chance of some vim keys?

No. The idea is to keep it as simple as possible. If I were to add anything it would be a red accents kit.

[Poesjuh]

Are you planning on getting samples before the GB launch?

[Kokaloo]

Make it happen cap'n~ 

[Zambumon]

We'll see. I'll think about it but I'd rather keep things simple and easy.

[azulyf]

Is it possible to add another 1.25 key? Meta, Code, blank whatever

[InsaneArma35]

Please I need this!!!!

[Zambumon]

Unlikely.

[SeamansBeard]

International kit would be great!
Yes I saw the no norde etc. I just think its sad that you now are excluding some markets from your wonderful sets and even advising other GB runners to do so as well (Oliva++).

KATs a different ball game, you have super low MOQs since it's all dye subbed. Super easy to get whatever you want made. You want R2 Plumbus, I'll give you it for 5 schmekels

Oh dang. I didn't know KAT was dye subbed. TIL. So what profiles are doubleshot PBT? Or I guess the better question might be, which companies make doubleshot PBT keycaps?

Kinda off topic, but I'm curious now.

Apologies all for not deleting a close-quote tag there and mucking up everybody else's quoting. If you delete the first close-quote (it's empty) in your post, that should fix it.

Ah. Here's to hoping for 2020 infinikey x doubleshot pbt.

Back on topic.. How far off are the orange from honk and the yellow in Lux?

Leopold does high quality PBT doubleshots, and were positive when I reached out to them to do something. I didn't dig much further considering the molds they currently have and the MoQ - but there are more players out there.
AFAIK it's not uncommon for korean enthusiasts to use leopold caps on their kustoms.

I think the colour in renders is ok, kind of goldish-yellow is acceptable (though it is simillar to hive).

Is there any chance that put the 6.25 space bar into the core?

Core kit has 6.25U and 7.00U space bars.

Accent space bars and 6.00U space bars are on the space bar kit.

Sorry my typo. What I mean is the yellow(gold?) 6.25 space bar.

[iammeuru]

Man, I usually can't stand yellows... Serika is one of my least favorite sets ever, for instance... I know it was your creation as well... This set is wonderful. IMO very complementary colors, simple kit designs with massive base kit compatibility... basically this kit is everything I want it to be, and with simple two color aesthetics, which really make me happy. Count me in for a set.

Are there any plans to release the lux in other profiles like the KAT or MT3??

Love the colors hence the curiosity.
