Just got a white Leopold with clears, problem is that it isnt white but actually very light grey (retro white, lol),
but all my white 3rd party keycaps (KBC, WASD, SP...) are whiter (closer to snow white, especially the KBC).
So, does someone know where to get matching keysets for the Leopold,
or which SP color sample does match it (...groupbuy! haha)?

If you want the exact match, you'd have to look for the stock Leopold one.
-
SP offers alot different grey shades, also light ones...
If one matches we could do something like this as doubleshots:
Stealth white :3

Legit i would be in.
Would this also be possible with PBT dye sub?
-
A white on creamy light grey colorway could be interesting. No way that could be done dyesub as the dye has to be darker than the key.

Just thought to try to get PBT if we could.

Well I suppose a way to do it would be to dye the key, then etch like some of the KBC keys are. I think probably the only way to have a lighter legend on pbt not pad print. I have a China flag key like that. It's a Yellow key that has a red overdye then etched to see the yellow under again.
