That grape looks pretty good to me also!

Yeah, but is it the color or the light? :slight_smile:

I am in for one. Thanks.

Purple is a surprisingly popular color, even among men.

I remember when I learned this very clearly. At the time I was running a company that sold paintball gear (aka, a heavily male dominated sport). I came across a really good deal on some clearance grips (the handle for the paintball marker “Gun”) from a supplier in a few colors.

I ordered a bunch of black and camo as these are always popular.

They had a massive oversupply of purple grips and cut me a really good deal if I got all 200 of them. I figured that for the price I could give them away as bonuses if they didn’t sell.

Turned out that the purple grips outsold all the other colors by LOT. I sold out of the purple grips in a few months but it took me a year or 2 to move all the other colors even though I had much less of them.

Surprised the heck out of me, the only thing I could come up with is that it was the only true different color from the normal black and thus people just wanted something different.

I made this block as part of a holder system to use a 42” diffuser in Portrait Photography. The hole through the top, side to side, accepts a hexagonal bar that in turn holds 3 arms that hold the 42” round diffuser panel. The block sits on a tripod. The hex rod and supporting rods in 1/2” round bar are also anodized purple.

Interesting, actually, that the Pink Panda doesn’t like Purple…. :stuck_out_tongue:

Wow, I wasn’t expecting pastel purple. I was thinking something a bit darker, like a candy grape (or candy violet, or “dormant” grape) powder coat:


… or purple anodized aluminum:

I would actually consider getting one of these if they came in candy Purple, or candy Green. Or really any candy colors.

Maybe not pink enough??

They all look alike to me :person_facepalming:

Mother’s day gift? Breast Cancer Awareness Gift light? Daughter introductory birthday present, bringing new blood into the fold? I can see a lot of folks liking that.

Add (1) leroycp 2nd additional please.

The shiny purples look nice. Also quite partial to the pink.

I think if we start getting into colors the price may rise….

How about just doing it titanium? :partying_face:

+1 Might as well :wink:

That’d work, then everyone could hold a candle to it and get their own choice of color. :wink:

Whilst that pink and purple are maybe not as ugly as I imagined I still want my FW3A to come to me au-naturale.

I think that’s the first time my forum name has betrayed me :person_facepalming:

Given how much extra a candy powdercoat costs, I highly doubt it’ll happen. Still fun to think about though. :slight_smile:

… and with that in mind, I’m still waiting for someone to make one of these:

What about my Orange Crush?
