After the extensive research we decided to go with a blue finish for the prototype. Thank you to everyone who gave feedback. We will however still get the trial batch made in a few different colours as the vote was hardly unanimous.
You can see from the image below that the shade is a bit different to the blue sample disk but is still a lovely colour. The actual colour that results from a particular dye depends on the grade of aluminium and the amount of time the part is left in the coating bath. Once we are happy with a colour we can get consistent results but a bit of experimentation will be required to start with.
I'll post more images from the completed prototype and also the other colours as I get them.
