How badly would you like to see the G10 Grip in more colors?

I'm so pleased to see how Benchmade has revised the Griptilians, (and addressed the most common gripe about the handles.) The new design seems pretty awesome... though I haven't bought one yet. This may seem trivial to some, and others like it fine I'm sure, but I dislike the grey-and-blue color scheme so much I just can't bring myself to buy one.

I'm curious to know how others feel about the colors. Are you satisfied with the current combination? Would you like to see more variety in the future? (If so, how badly?)
(I really hope Benchmade at least trickles out some new color combos from time to time... there are so many options that would look cooler imo...)

I like the colors on my 556, but would still like to see other options. I would almost bet that they will offer other choices down the road. Maybe once they get all of the 2016 products up and running...

The problem is, no matter what the color choices are, there will always be those that don't like the choices. It probably depends on how well the G-10 versions sell too.
 
I would like to see all black G10 with black spacers and all black hardware including the Axis.
 
I like the look of the KSF and Putman scales over the new factory models. I do like the stand off construction though.
 
Green G10 with red inner liners would be an awesome Loveless-esque touch.
 
Maybe in time they will allow the buyer to customize their scales like you can the blade.
 
Colors, or a choice for more than black, and available in regular production, could really improve sales. Among my peers, black G-10 is boring. I agree with this. At least we're seeing gray, but there are so many other options.
 
I would have bought one already if it weren't for the colors they went with. When they make some more options available, I'll buy one.
 
I actually like the gray and blue. Just enough color and no busy designs like the Knifeworks exclusives which I've found all of them to be unattractive. I think green in place of the blue wouldn't look bad either.
 
Admittedly, I haven't handled one yet, but I don't like the gray and blue color scheme either, at least not the shades gray and blue they chose. Also, there's something about that G10 that, at least in pictures, still looks a lot like plastic to me. I'm hoping they'll expand this to other colors as well.
 
Man would love to see them make a Pink with some red inserts . For the one of us who have lost family and friends to cancer they can even in grave the blade I know I would personalize mine .
