The samples have been shipped out to Olivia today.
I have seen some talks on random discord channels, and I just wanted to address some misconceptions that I have seen.
While the GB ended on April 28, 2018, we have only just received
our second round of color samples. That was on Friday, August 31, 2018. The first round of samples werent even close to the actual colors that Olivia had picked out (June 12 is when GMK shipped to us). Thats why we requested second samples (June 21). When GMK received
their second color samples, they knew the colors werent correct again (July 20). When this happened, GMK sent out a RAL color guide to Olivia and I to find the colors that most matched what Olivia had intended (July 25). We both, unknowingly, picked out the same RAL colors from the book. RAL is the standard in EU to match colors to, and that is why GMK asked us to choose from there. Once we figured out what RAL color worked, we submitted that to GMK (July 26). That takes us up to the present.
Hope that helps clear up some things. We are just as excited as everyone else to get this set made.
