With Bliss, I requested color matching to a color available in Pantone's plastic chip, which is only available for a specific Pantone system.

GMK almost exclusively prefers RAL, I believe, while Signature Plastics and Keyreative are both open to matching Pantone swatches. I'm going to make a general blanket statement and say that I believe most factories either work with the RAL color system and/or the Pantone color system. I've worked directly with Signature Plastics and Keyreative, and I also have some knowledge of GMK requirements based off of discussions I've had. You want to choose colors that present a coherent theme, and are compatible with manufacturer specifications for production. I truly believe that picking colors is the most difficult part of running a keyset. My inspiration and driving force for creating my keysets mostly revolve around a strong desire for creative outlet and wanting pretty colors on my keyboards! Pick Colors You may even end up readjusting your goal as you work through the keyset design process, and that's ok! It's also good to start thinking about what profile you'd like to run your keyset in as that will affect a few decisions down the line about which color system to use, what kits you'll be able to offer, what material your keyset will be made from, etc. Maybe the goal is just to challenge yourself to see if this a project you can accomplish! Find your inspiration, set your goal, and always re-evaluate where you are from accomplishing your goal. Whether it's because you want to design the cutest novelties, want to bless your keyboard with your anime waifu colorscheme, or because you just have a few favorite colors that you want to put into a keyset, being inspired with a goal will help drive your project forward. This may be the hardest part, but I'm assuming if you're on the warpath to create a keyset, then you've already found your inspiration. You want to design a custom keyset! Everyone has different motivations behind designing a custom keyset, and having motivation is the best first step! However, between being inspired and having a keyset delivered, there are so many steps and hopefully some of what I share about my own experience can help demystify some of those steps!
