Help us choose our new colors

May 5, 2010

Currently it is possible to have us dye White, Strong & Flexible for you in 3 different colors. We want to continue to innovate so we will be replacing those three colors: Blue Jeans, Terracotta & Limestone with three new ones. This should happen in a month or so. So, you have a month if you would like to order something in those colors. We would like to ask you guys however which colors you would like to try. So what colors do you want as Shapeways next 3? Please take 30 seconds to pick your favorite three colors. The colors you can choose from are shown below. Arnoud is responsible for selecting the pink by the by.

gray is not a priority in my mind, since you guys have the Alumide. Pink is too girly for general use, and could simply be substituted with red in most cases. This leaves:

• Red,
• green,
• blue

These colors are boring, why can they have cool names like the old ones? :-P.

I’m not very lucky that you want to change the old ones, since some customers are happy with the existing colours (i.e. limestone).
If I can choose colours I would prefer none of the predefined ones but instead:

• sand
• olive
• grey

Please, please, do not replace all the old colours, but add one or two. I’ll spend ages getting my photography right again.

Turquoise is the Pantone color of the year.
Purple also seems to be emerging.
If possible, a nice deep chocolate brown would also be a good basic.

i love the idea. was never really into the current colours. and i do like the bright look of

• pink, blue and green
  or maybe
• red, blue and green
  if the pink is too girly for some people.

If those are the choices,i would rather you not change the colors at all. i like the colors that you have.
If anything, I would change the black since it’s not a true black.
