Real colors
I asked my art-school graduate Harris to do a color corrected photo of the tablet stands, in the four colors, so we could see “what the colors really look like”.
Here they are:
Though of course, those of you who know color theory are going to object! We're all looking at a RGB photo, which is emitting light, whereas in real life, these are reflecting (removing colors). And also, the pink color is matte whereas the other 3 are shiny, so their colors change quite a bit more depending on viewing angle.
We're building one DE1PRO and one DE1XXL of each of the four colors now, so we can photograph them.
And while we did receive 10 of each colors, we can't build that machine machines. Why? Because this our chassis supplier's first attempt at these delicate colors, there were a lot of little defects, mostly color-missing spots, and occasional air bubbles in the paint. I'm not yet clear on how many perfect machines we can build yet.
In a few days, Bugs and I fly back to Hong Kong. We've been away for 9 months, enjoying having missed the huuuge COVID wave that passed through as soon as we left!
And that means I'll also get back to making videos. We've had a pause since I left, and in October, I hope to show you our new “video studio” and to start having regular “open to all, drop-in sessions” on Youtube Live.
