Gateron Quinn and Gateron FC red colours

Learning and discussion Key switches
1

Hi !

I have not had much time for our beloved keeb-hobby lately, but I finally managed to at least start a new build.

I am wondering if someone has both Gateron FC and Gateron Quinn switches at home, and is able to tell me how similar the red in the housings is?

I already have a bag of Gateron FC, and I consider buying Quinns as well.

Purpose: Making a slightly subdued red frankenswitch which works with Outemu silent stems (The Gateron FC does).

(edit: typos)

In the meantime I bought some Quinns, and I can answer the question myself in case someone would like to know as well.

The reds are similiar, but not identical.
