Title: what SP color code best matches a mx brown stem?
Post by: tbc on Mon, 17 February 2014, 23:29:25

like the title says? what color code is it?

this is totally not a serious thing, i just have a CM switch tester and i want to get keycaps on top that match the switch they're covering.

thanks for the help.

I only see one PBT brown colour from SP. Would you be fine with ABS colours?

Here's a quick phone pic for now. Left my camera at my office...
Left is with light shining on it. Right is without a direct light.

IRL, I would say it's closer to the bottom PBT "TGJ" colour.

Brown's a hard image to take a pic of. Depending on lighting, the colour can change from this:

haha, thnaks alot zeal.  major CSI zoom and enahnce work there.

your suggestion looks pretty spot on.  I wonder if a SP GB runner wants to chip in though.
