Friends, could anyone with some Photoshop skills and some time compose a photo or two of the oak Balance but instead of gold aluminum, show the natural (silver) aluminum?

I would enjoy seeing this color combo. Thank you!

Wow Yes - thumbs up

Exactly the version that would trigger me Smile

Im a bit surprised that such a natural color combo hasn't been launched. 

Also, a version that is similar to "Nordic Ice" but with no color tint towards the "lilac" would be nice, for those who are not fond of the wood.

The marbel with silver aluminium rather than gold would also be an option Stick out tongue

Phil, thanks for taking the time to compose that mock-up. I appreciate it.

Something about the color of the fabric strikes me as a little unfinished but in general, yeah, that's a color combo I would like. Natural silver and regular oak a la "launch spec" BL18 and BL50.

I kind of wish there was more standardization of the colors and finishes across the entire product line. It seemed like natural aluminum and regular oak was a spec you could get in many products but Balance, Level, Emerge... they don't offer it from the factory. I suppose gold/oak has taken over, now that I think of it.

Anyway, thanks Phil. Again, that was fun to see. I'm not in the market for dropping $3k on a custom Balance but it made me happy to see and dream about briefly. :)

Ever since its launch I have never been able to see the lilacy tint in the Nordic Ice Balance. Not even as an owner of one. To me it is more like a darker silver tone. In fact, I can see the Frosted Rose of the Kvadrat fabric more, but that too on certain days or in certain lighting conditions only. And even so I would still struggle to say if it is rosy or sort cream-ish. Such a fine colour nuance. What I can clearly see the lilac tint though is with the EQ.

Other than that I would also love a Balance that looks more silvery. Nevertheless when B&O has made one of their products in a certain color, chances are they are not going to do it again with a tiny adjustment. I think it is more likely that they would come up with something entirely different, like Bronze base with dark taupe cover or something like that. I’m really curious about the possibilities in the Bespoke program.

Totally agree! It is what the «gold» tone should have been!

That should be easy without Photoshop. Just turn on the grayscale setting in a photo editor Smile.

There is software, websites, and mobile applications that can help you track the moon’s position at a given location. Sometimes you may stumble on a lucky shot, but there are rewards for being prepared and planning an epic landscape featuring the moon overhead.

What sense does this make, other than the "application" part?

@Hiort I suppose it would be something similar to this below. NB: With grayscale you do lose the warmer tone of the fabric though when comparing the colour and grayscale version side by side, so it is not perfect. You do probably need Photoshop after all and a bit more careful hand :).
