Voting for color (case color)

I have a Drop Alt that I want to get a new case for (specifically a high profile case), and I am stuck between two colors, bronze (dark grey), or Lilac (a bright purple. What do you think would suit a better color pallet of keycaps.

I would say the bronze would probably fit with a wider array of keycap colors if it is more a darker gray than actual bronze color. Lilac while it does look nice, would probably only look right with certain colors I’m thinking.

Obvious preference comments aside, I have one of these case colors so I can talk about it at least.

Mine is a CTRL High-profile in their bronze color:

Here it is with some grey keycaps, GMK Nines. It’s a subtle case color but definitely warmer than a neutral grey. Here it is with the keycaps I settled on for it, DCX Latte:

Personally, I love the cover, but I do think it’s a little challenging to find something that really jives with it - I tried three different brown sets before settling on that one. I also thought it looked pretty good with HSA BoB, but it clashed with some others. I don’t think the lilac one will be too different; it will probably look great with some purple sets while clashing with others, so I say pick the one that you think you’re more likely to have or want to buy a set that jives with it.

Ok I see, yeah that has a lot more brown in it than I was thinking from OP’s description. @HokuraChan Seeing @Deadeye’s pics, then looking up the lilac version on drop I gotta change my opinion TBH. The lilac looks closer to a cool grey/silver with a hint of light purple than the bronze looks to a dark grey, by my eye of course. I know we all perceive color a bit different than each other so my best advice would be go with the one you feel leans more towards actual grey. I think that way you’ll personally feel that color matches with more sets & be happier with whatever one looks more grey than its actual name to you. At least that’s what I would personally do to decide myself. So I’d go with the lilac if I was in your shoes.


I know that this is technically a black high profile, but wouldn’t this look kinda good on a dark grey? (the MT3 keycaps that I cannot remember on bronze)

Yeah in that lighting it does loom way less brown. Hmm, now I see why your asking for help choosing! I’ll see if I know anyone who has either color later today.
