Any suggestions for yellow buttons and joysticks that match

(1/3) > >>

AlienInferno:
Looking for anyone who might be able to suggest some button / joystick ball combinations.  I am wanting yellow buttons and ball tops for my sticks that match in shading.  I've seen a lot of different color shades of yellow.  Would rather buy once and not have to worry about the colors not matching exactly.  Like getting stuck with bright yellow buttons and a kind of dark tinted yellow ball top.

Links would be nice if you know some that might be good.  Otherwise maybe a product number or something so I can find it relatively easily.

PL1:
Color matching can be tricky unless you are buying butons and balltop from the same manufacturer and/or you can do a side-by-side comparison.

Eds1275 suggested a wiki page like this to compile this type of info.

If anyone can do a side-by-side comparison of two or more products (buttons, balltops, battops, t-molding), please tell us your first-hand observations in the thread here.

Let us know what specific products you find that:
 * Do color-match
 * Almost color-match
 * Don't color-match
 * Don't color-match, but are complimentary colors (Not certain about this designation, LMK if it's a bad idea.  :dunno)
 * Match (or don't match) texture/finish

Example:

--- Quote ---The yellow IL Compact battop stick color-matches the yellow Goldleaf pushbutton, but has a different (matte) texture.

The yellow Arcade Prime pushbutton almost color-matches the yellow IL Compact battop, but is slightly darker and has a different (smooth) texture.

The Golden Yellow Hand Candy ball top and Yellow CLASSX buttons are very close.  Perfect matching is usually not possible, as the materials used differ between the parts/manufacturers. 

It's not even uncommon for two different production lots of the same part, from the same manufacturer, to vary slightly in color.

How do those compare to your Solar Yellow 3/4-inch T-Molding?   ;D

I agree that the perfect can be the enemy of the good -- we're just shooting for good data.   :cheers:

Randy,

I was actually looking at the different products on your site last night and came to the conclusion I was going to order those exact ones.
