Title: Best CC color match for Topre EK orange caps
Post by: HolidaySHRIMP on Fri, 05 October 2012, 15:35:08

Hey all.  Looking to buy the Non-Printed Keycaps for Topre Realforce 87U/104U (Orange) from EK (http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,toprekeys&pid=xf0100kt5n (http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=access,toprekeys&pid=xf0100kt5n))
Wondering if Creamsicle or Hack Orange is a better match.  Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks.

Trying to color match is really hard.  Off by even a little bit and your eye will immediately see it.  That's why I'd put my vote for a complimentary color, like blue or black.

MagicMeatball determined that the "Orangesicle" was close but not a perfect match.

Thanks for replies all.  Think I'm going to try and get complimentary colors instead.

A Blue CC would like nice!

I've always thought that blue and orange go well together.

Although blue and red are opposite ends of the visible light spectrum.
