Update regarding the cases (and some other things)


FWIW, antracite is high grade coal, so in colour terms I assume it's a mid-dark grey. Dark anthracite would be a rather dark grey in my lingo.
I grew up in a town in the Anthracite region of Pennsylvania (Pennsyltuckey). There is no gray in Antracite, it is a shiny black, sometimes it even peacocks and turns a rainbow of colors.
 
Anthracite was once discussed as an colour option but I've not heared much more about since. I guess it's one of the colours they cant do right or so? Would like to see an Anthracite coloured Pyra case for sure. More interesting than plain black or grey.
 
Pyra Vantablack special edition anyone ?
OK, too expensive, forget it ...

not just unpayable, its still usable under special licence (mostly for warmachines and science)
AND it is a coating. Nanotubes. So not usable in normal handling with a device. But if you want to paint it with something like vantablack (its still not for selling and its not allowed to bring it outside of the UK), then check out Black 2.0 made by Stuard Semple.
He was angry about the vantablack rules (licence for use this material in art was sold....) , so he made his own deeply black paint. Its not based on nanotubes, but its still extremly black cuz of so much pigments inside.

it´s a really funny story:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Semple#Conflict_with_Anish_Kapoor
and some funfact from Stuards Hompage where you can buy his "absolut black paint":
*Note: By adding this product to your cart you confirm that you are not Anish Kapoor, you are in no way affiliated to Anish Kapoor, you are not purchasing this item on behalf of Anish Kapoor or an associate of Anish Kapoor. To the best of your knowledge, information and belief this material will not make it's way into the hands of Anish Kapoor.
 
Semple's pink and green are pretty nice. I might be willing to go for a Pyra in one of those. I wonder why Kapoor didn't do the same thing with that Diamond Dust glitter that he did with the pink.
 
Damn, if I had the time right now, I would write a website which would render each part in a chosable color and allow you to 'buy' all parts in the quantity and combination you like.
Clicking the 'buy'-button there would be a promise to pay for the parts if they get ordered.
Then ED could look at the popular colors for each part and would be able to order them when the quantity matches the requirement.

I'm putting the idea out there, since someone who is not currently in a work-intensive phase of studying can pick up if they want/have the time.
 
The case color isn’t something I’ll be picky about, but if there is a color option I’ll surely take it. Almost all my stuff is already black or clear/white, so a similarly colored Pyra will feel like just another device.

I’m not going to dye a clear case, I’m pretty sure it won’t look as good as a case made of colored plastic.
 
Need more case pics.

I'd vote for black inner lid whatever the rest of the case looks like. Black LCD surround for better contrast against whatever's on screen.
What if the stuff being displayed is mostly black? I think black around the display with another color for the rest looks cool. I am guessing my taste ifs influenced by something mostly forgotten from my childhood (was thinking Game Boy, but not so sure).
