Time for a second, and hopefully final, handle anodizing color poll. The previous poll was mainly a race between Blue (18 votes as of this post) and Gray (13 votes), with no others coming particularly close to those two. It also didn't include any dark green options, which crimsonfalcon and others, myself included, would be eager to see but weren't sure if Darrel could make happen.
As a result of the discussion in the original color thread, our tireless moderator Hark checked with Darrel about the possibility of other colors: Darrel's response was that if we want another color, we'll need to give him the Pantone color code. Scurvy092 and crimsonfalcon helpfully looked up the color/code charts, and the one that seems to be closest to what we want (Pantone 3435 [Evergreen]) is pictured below. Note, though, that the anodized color may end up looking somewhat different from how the Pantone color looks on a given individual's computer monitor, phone, tablet, or other glowing rectangle of choice, so it's a bit of a gamble that it'll turn out how we want.
