I am looking to order a custom keyboard from Varmilo and I'm just wondering if there is a colour image chart of their available keycaps, or a sample page of some sort where I can see the full range? At the moment I'm just Googling for various images of keyboards and what people have, but of course different lighting affects how they look so it's hard to gauge, plus it's not always clear if they're using Varmilo or a custom set. I need UK ISO and either Cherry profile or Varmilo's own (which I understand is very close to Cherry profile), so my options are more limited. Thanks in advance. :)

I got a color reference chart from Cynthia at Varmilo Sales the other day--attached.

That's excellent, thank you very much! :thumb:

That's a nice yellow they have :D

I saw it and thought the same thing.

I suggest watching video reviews, you get a better idea. For pictures one can use the best possible light, usually natural light, so video reviews recorded indoors can give you a more accurate and realistic sneak peek.
About the ISO layout I wouldn't say limited since they already have it (http://imgur.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/53nyY). I was about to purchase UK layout myself before Google Images showed me this (http://imgur.com/gallery/1Dygy) !

Yeah I recently discovered that, AND they are PBT, AND they are near as dammit Cherry profile... which is a VERY rare combination of characteristics!!

Moonlight white is no longer available, BTW.
