Dark Red keycaps: what to focus on

Use these tips to get cleaner renders and better variations.

Dark Red 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 Unpublished stays private.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.

Palette ideas

Pick a preset palette, copy a prompt, then open Studio with parameters.
