Glare 65 by Geon works.
This set is inspired by the famous Gulf Livery, shown below. This set is designed to be an "R2" to my previous set, SA Motorsport Selectric. Based on a multitude of requests to do this in a cylindrical profile, I am doing it in DCS, using stock Signature Plastic Colors.
It is important to note that the blue and orange for the Gulf livery weren't consistent. The blue went between a powder blue, "workshirt" blue, and a seafoam green in some incarnations of the livery. The orange is between a more "marigold" (Yellow Orange) and a more "vermillion" (Red Orange), depending on the specific car. I chose a more powder-blue shade and an orange that leans more toward the red side of the spectrum. I chose this to differentiate between the more yellow dominent I chose for SA Motorsport Selectric. Examples of the how the livery changed over time can be seen here.

ThanksEveryone in the Keyboard Designers Forum, the people in my discord, and Melissa for being patient with me going through rounds of quotes

CoolPenguin1:
I'm not usually one for brightly colored sets but this looks great in DCS. Will definitely consider joining the GB when it runs!

Fraaaan:
Cool set! Please don't force accent ISO. Consider putting one of the colors in the extension kit. GLWIC!

Thank you! Added Q for Mod/Accent ISO.

Also, some are saying, "That's not orange, that's red." I know we're in a typing hobby and not a reading hobby, but yes, as I stated below, I am intentionally using a Red-Orange (Vermillion- OBJ) because many of the Gulf livery cars used that color, and with SA Motorsport Selectric I went with a Yellow-Orange (Marigold- OBR). I also added sample photos under different lighting conditions to the top posts.

I am also considering forcing Alt Gr on right shift- thinking of changing legends and not increasing the key count- as I really like the quote I got.

Not even a fan of cars like that, but I am in lol. Great colors and I love the novelties. We need more DCS sets with them!
