Black White keycaps: what to focus on
Colorways are about contrast and balance. Keep palette stable while you iterate accents.
Black White palettes
Start with 2–4 colors. Keep legends high-contrast for readability.
Accents & novelty keys
Use 1 accent color and reserve it for modifiers/novelties.
Lighting consistency
Keep lighting fixed while iterating colors, or results become noisy.
Publish for sharing
Publish creates a public page you can share. Unpublished stays private.
Try profiles
Cherry/OEM feel different visually. Test 2 profiles with same palette.
Colorway checklist
Make sure contrast holds across base and accent keys.
Contrast check
Legends should remain readable on all base colors.
Accent usage
Limit accents to modifiers/novelties for visual balance.
Legend readability
Avoid tiny text; keep legends clean and centered.
Lighting lock
Do not change lighting while comparing palettes.
Palette ideas
Pick a preset palette, copy a prompt, then open Studio with parameters.
