I also requested a code for one with batteries, and have yet to hear a response back. I wanted to get the first few loaded, as I’m intending them to be gifts. Guess I should have just ordered one without to get the ball rolling. My first position on the list is 665. Not too worried though. It sounds like there’s a pretty good relationship established here with Sofirn.
This is about the best I can find DBSAR
Worse comes to worse, I’ll pull a couple apart when I get them and either Cerakote or DuraCoat them myself. I just think it’s a cool color for something like this lantern. BTW, thanks for all you’ve done creating this outstanding little light!
SIGShooter and TheMiller may need to start a support group for BLF group buy coordinators. 
Hi. Please can you put me down for one more to make 2 in total. First request is #2460.
I’m on for one, but with Christmas around the corner, please put me down for another. Can’t wait!
I have been requesting ano colours from Sofirn before (for the C01 in which I was involved) and although many colours were discussed, I made a real effort to get a flat olive, the ones that were finally decided on were the limited range that were used on other Sofirn lights too. I understood that some ano colours are cheaper than others and those are simply the cheap ones.
Further, light transparant colours are easier, deep and darker colours are more difficult. I do not know if difficult is just more expensive or if they are impossible to make.
Nice dark ano colours are a rarity, some oldschool Shadow lights have a great dark brown colour, and of course the “desert tan” from Convoy is nice too. I would love to see a dark green in the same darkness and texture of the desert tan.
I think that Sofirn needs to be convinced how important colour is for their buyers, if they find an anodisation plant that can make a few really good colours (like Convoy did, and Emisar makes rather nice colours too) that will pay back the higher production costs in improved sales.
Personally I stick to black only because I dislike the weak candy colours that are the alternative.
Interested, one for me please .
That’s why I stick with black as well. Black is safe and I pretty much know what I’ll get. I did make an exception for a C8 that a gent on here built for me, and that’s in a sort of graphite silver/grey that is just too classy for words.
I would vote for
either Dark Green or Pine Green
Blue-Grey or Dark Blue
Sand or Faded Copper
Deep Orange or Traffic Cone Orange
'Burgundy' or 'Auburn'
Pale Lime
and a Silver /Clear anodized/ one of course - and all colors in a 'metallic', moderately shiny or sand-blasted finish, if possible.
Howdy, interested in 3 please and thank you.
I’m suprised Sofirn didn’t go with Blue and Red since that’s what they used for other lights. I would vote for ‘coleman green’ but if that’s not possible my second choice would be clear/un-anodized.
please put me down for 1 more (total of 2)
thanks 
Another vote for Coleman green or as close as possible, a dark brown would be very nice too.
Anything that does not detract from a natural camping setting would work for me, not a big fan of seeing all those radioactive colors when out in the woods.
:+1: …… #005200 Color Hex
Dark Green
or maybe this…… Forrest Green…. the color of my Jeep!
Ahhh, I hadn’t thought about that. Thanks for the insight into what may be happening at the manufacturing end of things.
are the PMs sent by the user Sofirn?
I’ve gotten a strange mail about a new PM @ blf, but there is no new PM
could be totally coincidental though
Sofirn handled the batch 1 PM’s so I’m not sure what they are doing at the moment. Did it come from blf user Sofirn?
That strange PM could be from a good for nothing lowlife who is using different names to harass others. You can’t find the PM because when found the account and all PM’s associated with it are deleted by sb.
no, it did not. But still an unusual name which could have been fitting for mass PMs. could just be a regular user though
who knows. maybe just a fluke
/edit
thats propably it
the name would very much fit that version too @Mtn
Finally - someone else with taste! (says the guy who also wants radioactive green and dayglow orange)
.
A nice matte muddy Brown is a great color too, but I suspect I’ll be happy shooting a layer of that color paint over a sand/FDE base, or vice-versa. The subtle two-tone you get as the paint wears will likely appeal to me.
BUT … lets wait to see what colors Sofirn can get before we get too emotionally attached to any specific colors.
