is the Filco white whiter than the leopold? I've heard that Leopold is somewhat beige color. Can't judge correctly from the pics I've found.

Filco is more of a cream color. I think the TT Meka G1 is the whitest board I've seen. You'd probably want to pair it with some white PBTs.

Or some blood red will look good too.

thanks guys!

They're both an off-white color.

For the Filco, you can see the color contrast here pretty well. Personally I've had this set up before and don't think white pbts on a white filco looks good.

Leopold looks horrid next to Apple products... FYI.

Does anyone have a set of imsto's thick dye-sub or beige cherry DS to compare the white Filcos with?

Thanks! That actually seems like a very close match.

yes.

But, which color matches best? White or light gray (looks like beige)?

Good question... My Filco is actually light beige/cream colored. Actually, black would be the only choice I could live with. For the present, think I'll pass.

I might do all dark gray. Why can't they just make them REALLY white?
