GMK ADA

I liked the color of Veuve Clicquot’s label and decided to do some googling. Turns out the color is Pantone 137C. This set is designed around a love for Pantone 137C. The legends are CR. If you would like the above banner, go to profile>modify profile>forum profile>signature>copy and paste this:

**WHY ADA?
**
Ada is considered to be one of the first computer programmers as a result of her work on Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine and she also happens to be the child of Lord Byron, a prominent poet and rake of his time. As this is a keyset and is originally inspired by the color of a Champagne brand, it seemed fitting to name it after the mother of programming and the daughter of a debaucherous merrymaker: GMK ADA.
Sidenote: If you are a lover of history, strongly suggest reading more on both of them.
Kitting
I copied Lightning’s kitting, with his permission, on Dolch r5 and made one slight adjustment to the extension kit (adding 2 1u spacebars). Sorry for not including the sculpt on the renders. Sculpt: 1-1-2-3-4-5. So R5 bottom row. I’m willing to accommodate changes if it makes sense. Please use the following form for some feedback/suggestions and so I can gauge general interest in the set: https://forms.gle/b1GadEsxNXFDEF858

MATCHES YOLK?
At roughly the same time as designing this set, I ordered a Rama u80 in yolk and also some FFFF switches because I saw a photo on Instagram that showed that Matrix FFFF switches were a close match to Rama’s yolk. In the image below, you can see how close a match yolk is to the FFFF switches and also my image showing how close the FFFF switch is to a plastic sample of Pantone 137C. I had no intention of making them a close match, it just happened that way. It may not be a perfect match but it seems close. Therefore GMK ADA may be a very close match for yolk keyboards. Rama does not release color codes so I cannot confirm. As a result, I decided to include renders of a Rama Koyu in Pantone 137c. If you are interested in this set because it might be a close match with Yolk, please consult the images below and determine how close they are for yourself.

WHAT DOES THE COLOR LOOK LIKE IN REAL LIFE?
One of the nice things about this set is you don’t need to ponder what the color will look like in reality as opposed to on your screen. You simply need to go to your local grocery/liquor store and pick up a bottle of Veuve Clicquot. The label is the correct color. On the other hand, my plastic sample of Pantone 137C has two sides, a shiny side and a matte finished side. The shiny label on the bottle is a perfect match for the shiny side of the plastic sample. The matte side is a very tiny bit different in color. So please keep this in mind as the matte side of this plastic sample is what I will be matching the keycaps to. Another way to confirm the color is to buy Matrix FFFF switches as they seem pretty close in color. I recently bought some on ilumkb.com.
SIMILARITY TO OTHER SETS
The closest set that I could think of is GMK honey. I asked his permission and he has yet to get back to me. Pantone 137C I believe is quite different from his Pantone 123C. Pantone 137C can look almost orange if it is not in direct sunlight. You can see how different the color can look in different lightings in the photos I provided but also just by googling bottles of Veuve Clicquot and seeing how different the label looks under different lighting setups. I also use black legends and text + icon mods while he uses white legends and icon mods. In my opinion it would be equivalent to calling gmk striker too similar to GMK Masterpiece as they are both blue and Japanese themed. I personally think this set is different enough to not worry about stepping on toes. But if anyone has other sets that I should ask permission that I am missing feel free to DM me.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Huge thanks to kingk22 for all the help on the renders and for Lightning for allowing me to copy his kitting and Anthony Dizon (@redizon on Instagram) for showing how close Matrix FFFF switches are to Rama’s Yolk.

“Mathematical science shows what is. It is the language of unseen relations between things. But to use and apply that language, we must be able to fully appreciate, to feel, to seize the unseen, the unconscious.” - Ada Lovelace
“The Analytical Engine might act upon other things besides number, were objects found whose mutual fundamental relations could be expressed by those of the abstract science of operations, and which should be also susceptible of adaptations to the action of the operating notation and mechanism of the engine… Supposing, for instance, that the fundamental relations of pitched sounds in the science of harmony and of musical composition were susceptible of such expression and adaptations, the engine might compose elaborate and scientific pieces of music of any degree of complexity or extent.”- Ada Lovelace
