Happs pushbutton color shade
2600:
Ok, hopefully simple question for those of you that have bought some happs pushbuttons. What is the shade of the pushbottons? Specifically, the blue and purple?
Is the blue a light blue(similar to mame logo) or blueblue?
Same with the purple, light purple(similar to flame in modified Mame marquee) or a darker shade of purple?
I don't know if is the digital cameras used, but out of all the cabinet examples on the web that say they use happ buttons the colors aren't always the same. I plan to design my control panels following the excellent examples of Motorfish and AceTKK. In Motorfish's, the picture seems to have a couple light purple's(mouse buttons) and then mostly blues next to the joysticks. Thanks for the help.

I have both the blue and the purple and neither would be considered "light". They look like primary kids colors, just your basic blue and purple, no funky shades or anything like that.

I agree 100%

Many photos of the buttons make them look much lighter because of the camera flash. This can also cause differences in appearance because of different cameras and light levels when the photos are taken. Here's a photo of a blue button next to another shade of blue for comparison.
I have a bag of purple buttons somewhere, but naturally I can't find them right now... Here's a photo I had of some purple buttons that were taken in relatively low light, so they are pretty representative of their true color. If anything, they are just slightly lighter in this photo than they truly are.

OT, but do you mean 2600 of magazine fame, or Atari 2600, or any of the other good stuff w/ 2600 in the name?
