Please help me choose the colors
« on: March 16, 2008, 06:50:48 am »
Now that I've decided the controls I'll be using in my new 1-player desktop control panel (named cp-500), it's time for me to choose the colors. I'd like to keep it monochrome, from black to white, with a technical and formal look. Today I had the idea of exchanging the barrels of different buttons. It's fantastic and opens so many new possibilities, specially combining black and white with different colors. So, I've implemented it here. I prefer the first 4 over the last 2 black panels, but the decission is hard. The white panel looks like a winner, but I suppose stains and dirt would be much more noticiable.

Have you considered a white joystick (either bat top or ball top).  Some of the darker panels that you have would go great with a white joystick to match the buttons.

#3 or #5. I really like #4 but agree with you that it would get dirty.

Really cool idea switching the barrels BTW!
