Most of the colors are accurate, but there are three that I'm not very happy about. One is the deep blue, which is Breitling's, the second is dark blue, and the last is light gray.
This is what I can capture with my phone's camera for dark blue. It's not entirely accurate, but the blue part is so subdued that it is very hard to capture.
The light gray looks very silver-y (not as light) and not nearly as dark as the colors pic. The cases reflect light due to the anodizing and appear to be lighter than they are, but it's still lighter than the
light gray here. The designer told me this was because of the change in factories - all of my pictures are color samples from the old factory. But this isn't what happened with the case. The deep blue was a factory problem, but that's not the case for dark blue.
Dark blue is lighter than what it's supposed to be due to my mistake. The color I placed the order for "dark blue" was "灰蓝", because I thought that was the appropriate option. However, I just found out that the "dark blue" in
here is actually "黑蓝". "灰蓝", what I placed the order for, was "gray blue", and the color that we wanted (and pictured) was "黑蓝", or "ink blue". So we got a batch of "gray blue" when we wanted "ink blue". This is my own fault, and I will take full responsibility.
Light gray is in the same boat due to the same mistake on my part. I reported "浅灰" (light gray), but the picture from
here is actually "钛灰" (titanium gray). This is why it appears to be much lighter than the colors pic.
Comparison between light gold, silver, light gray, and gray blue:
http://sli.mg/a/PMICGlTo summarize things, the colors were in the color pic mislabeled as dark blue and light gray are actually ink blue and titanium gray. The orders were placed for light blue and light gray.
"Dark blue" - pictured as ink blue, actually made gray blue.
"Light gray" - pictured as titanium gray, actually made light gray.
There are
four five options available to those who purchased light blue or light gray:
1. Stay with the case and color available right now. This is the fastest and easiest method, but you will not get the color that you were expecting to.
2. Reanodize the case to the appropriate color. This is
strongly not recommended due to potential issues/blemishes with the case after reanodizing, but will be faster than option 3.
3. Have a new case made in the ink blue or titanium gray. This is the most preferred method to get you exactly what you want, but will take another
two one month. If you are willing to wait, I highly recommend this.
4. Refund.
5. Swap your gray blue (the previous "dark blue" option) case for a light gray case. This is dependent on having one buyer of each color decide to choose option 3, 4, or 5, and will have the least impact on the fulfillment date, after option 1.
Options 3 and 4 will mean a forfeiture of your current order, and I will have to sell it (along with some other stuff) to gain the funds and proceed. I do not expect that to take too long, however.
I'd like to hear the thoughts of the participants on this. I will be sending out PMs w/ a link to this so we can discuss the available options and if there's anything else to be done, then I'll make a Google Form for the light gray/light blue participants to fill out.
I'll be on the plane in another 36 hours, and will be MIA for about 48 after that, but I'll be back, and I'll definitely get this sorted out properly.
My order is through a Friend in China and ít sent directly to Huan.But i cant contact with the designer of the case through some issue of contact.So confuse about the color until now.The dark blue should be similar with the black color right? Or it gonna be like the Cyan.If it like the Cyan it would be horrible
That's all due to the factory differences, unfortunately. It's not like cyan, more of a darker sky blue. I honestly think it's beautiful, but no color is everyone's cup of tea.
