Title: OG Cherry Double Shots (Danish) color / price
Post by: soer9459 on Tue, 01 September 2020, 06:31:42
Hello

Does anyone know what colors OG Cherry Double Shots are?
I've been looking long at both the GMK Muted / ePBT Grayscale sets, as well as the 9009 sets that are available. Obviously 9009 is more beige, while Muted/Grayscale are "pure" greyscale. The set in the picture looks to be somewhere in between?

Muted is "Pantone Cool Gray 5C" and "Pantone Cool Gray 1C", while 9009 is "L9" and "U9".

Do you know what colors originals are? I just bought this keyboard, and would like to know whether it makes sense to purchase some of the other kits as well

GMK 9009 uses the original Cherry beige colors. But mostly older boards cherry doubles shots get yellow overtime so you can't compare them to new sets like GMK 9009. You can retrobrite and it should be close to the original colors L9,U9

What would you think keycaps like the ones in the picture are worth, given that they are OG Cherry Double-Shots w. Danish legends, in good condition?

Demand for Danish legends is low. I have bought used cherry DS for 35 and brand new sets (MMK) in danish for 50 USD. If you find someone interested you two may try to define a price that makes sense for both.

Yeah, I figure it depends, since the market for DK keycaps is fairly limited.

Thanks for the reply
