Just wanted to share this as no one in my real life will care 
My order came today and the colors match my case perfectly! Much closer than I’d anticipated. Very satisfying.
This is the case, for reference:

I can relate to that.

This looks great!
I’m thinking about ordering one of those sets, since I have reassigned several keys. They are not translucent, correct? I mean, the LEDs shine around the keys, but not through them, right?
How long did it take you to set this up before ordering? I’m expecting it would take an hour or more to define all the keycaps – what you want where, and that sort of thing.
I moved the arrows to match vi since I am a long-time vi user – mouse-hjkl and mod-hjkl are mouse and arrow keys going in the vi directions… but now the keycaps are wrong.
It took me days to configure the layout, but that’s fun to do … like fiddling with a car configurator for days on end. Making drafts and refining the design.
I ended up making 2 configurations, which I ordered from YUZU. And the 2nd one is my fave. The colors look slightly different IRL and the fonts and sizes seem to look different IRL seeing the proportions of the actual keyboard on my actual desk.
It took a few weeks (4-6 weeks) I think from placing the order to taking delivery of the keycaps.

Correct.

It took me much longer than an hour to set mine up… I think more like 4-5 hrs. I also used some custom icons so I spent time looking for those. Was a fun project though!
If you want shinethrough keycaps I think fkcaps might provide them? I swear I saw the UHK60 layout there before but I can’t find it now that I’m checking.

I do like the shine-through keycaps – it is one of my favorite features of my Macs and now the UHK60 – but it is not a requirement.
FK Custom has UHK60 & 80 templates for the XDA & LPF profile shine-through caps. They might still be able to do the cherry profile though. If I’m not mistaken, it’s probably just a temporary availability issue. They have a pretty active Discord, and they’re quick to respond there. It’s the same guys that run YUZU, btw. I know YUZU just made it possible to do any custom layout without the need to pick from a template, so hopefully they can do the same with FK. 
Probably a good idea to take your time and ask questions before ordering. And if you think your layout might change a bit, order a few extra caps. Maybe consider using a flat, uniform profile (XDA for FK, or KAM for YUZU), since those are interchangeable on any row without concern for height inconsistencies.
