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 āGunā) 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 didnāt 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 42ā 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 42ā round diffuser panel. The block sits on a tripod. The hex rod and supporting rods in 1/2ā round bar are also anodized purple.
Wow, I wasnāt expecting pastel purple. I was thinking something a bit darker, like a candy grape (or candy violet, or ādormantā grape) powder coat:
Motherās 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.
Iām in for one, if it will have clear or purple anodizing. That purple one looks awesome.
I donāt like bare soft uncoated metals (aluminum and copper). Great looking design, driver and neutral white LEDS.
Thanks
Well I hope this goes smooth and the lists are growing fast
If this goes good I see no reason not to go for a B, C and T version.
Like the idwa of heat coloring the T a lot.
