GB THREAD NOW LIVE!!!

This set takes most of its inspiration from some of the more vibrant colours used in the 80s, specifically deriving them from windbreakers and ski wear.
Of course, these sorts of colours aren’t exclusive to fashion, with neons and pastels heavily inspiring other aspects of culture in that era and beyond. This prominent style still held influence well past the 80s, carrying through into the early/mid 90s by way of TV shows, technology and interior design.
Ultimately, despite seeming to clash at first glance, I find these colours still hold up with time, and with the resurgence of 80s fashion and inspiration in the modern era, really wanted to bring them into keycap form.


I chose to use GMK WS1, PANTONE 224 C, PANTONE 2725 C and PANTONE 3275 C respectively

I did attempt to use RAL colours, which are preferred by GMK, but felt there were too many compromises in the colours which would end up losing the heart of the set.

Alt Alphas

Mono-colour support, and a smaller kit than base for more affordable exotic layouts
