Colour inspiration

This glass is coloured using Cobalt and that pop that you get in the glass is what I wanted to capture in the blue of the set

A perfect match for the blue another intense colour, that is also the colour of a Cobalt based compound

Cobalt in its pure form tends to be a silvery colour but not to light, and in this case RAL 7001 Silver grey worked perfectly

Keyboard - yes you read that right

SMKeyboards is on board with Cobalt to offer a custom keyboard inspired by the Cobalt colours, and will include the option for the Cobalt Element engraved in the bottom. We will run a limited to 10 spots raffle at the end of the group buy for base kit buyers of GMK Cobalt

The colour of the board is very difficult to photograph but it is blue (some pics make it look more purple)
