Welcome to the GMK Dracula group buy thread! ▓▒░

Introducing GMK Dracula, a keyset based on the glorious Dracula Theme color-scheme. GMK Dracula turns the software aesthetic into keyboard keyset form, expanding the theme even further with add-on modules. The set features dark greyish blue tones with dark blue-purple-gray alphas. The default legend color is a contrasting neutral/cool white, which adds to the overall legibility of the classic text + icon legends. In addition, the Core and add-on modules include legends and accent keys in various pastel and neon colors, all based on selected Dracula Theme colors.

Modules

Core【 ＭＯＤＵＬＥ】

Colors

The colors are to be matched as close to the Dracula Theme colors as possible using custom colors, the base colors are very dark grayish blue. A GMK stock color may be used for the white alpha legend color.
The plan is to match the colors to Pantones first, then order plastic color chips, which GMK can then match their plastics to. I think this method allows for a great range of colors to choose from, but still retains the color matching accuracy with plastic chips from Pantone.

A color comparison with other popular/similar GMK sets:

▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ COLOR_COMPARISON.md ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
├── The colors are represented as accurately as possible using the correct color codes, using neutral lighting.
└── The second version has a neutral background color instead of a stylized one for an even more accurate comparison, as perception of color is relative to the surroundings after all.
