I will be making my first production run based upon these results, so please vote for your most wanted colors. ;D

Blue, Red, Green and Yellow are the colors I go with when building a 4p cab.. I get the impression that they are the most common colors, then you have white for 1-4p start and black for admin buttons (for those that do that sort of thing).
So yeah, basically the SlikStik scheme. :)

Shawn,
Here's a little inside info that I'm sure a lot of people could already guess, but I'm basing it on my sales.
Red, Black and Blue are the biggest selling button colors. Obviously, you can't make a black light-up button, so millky-clear (i.e. clear with a slight touch of white..white translucent?) should probably be your other color, so as to allow a colored LED to be placed behind it to fill-in for the others.

Blue would be great

What about smoke?

What about smoke?
When I think of smoke, I see tinted glass glass and I think that might just subdue the light/color of the LED, but I might not be on the same page.

How about sample pictures so that we can decide which looks best?

As mentioned, you need Blue, Red, Green and yellow for 4 player action...the colors of Gauntlet.

If Shawn can't/won't do 4 colors, then I'd say a clear would be a necessity. At least that way you could use different colored LEDs to get your desired color (as mentioned above)

An update:
Once I place my order, the production time will be 2 - 3 weeks. I do not have pricing yet, as they are locating some granulate material for different colors before they breakdown costs for me.

I agree that milky clear should be one of the options.
It would make the color options limited only by the options of colored light you can place behind em.
