custom pcb colors

Hello,

what do you think about custom pcb colors?

like who provides such service and how much does it cost approximately more than regular stuff.

of course, it is not that important to have more colors than what is available but still good to know.

thanks

It's not that hard to compile a list of top 5 or top 10  pcb manufacturers and check their offerings, as they'll quote you prices depending on what options you pick. Do your homework.

2-3 most popular colors will usually be cheaper, as they can bundle multiple projects / designs on a large panel of that color and do bigger batches.
For less common colors, they'll have to wait more time to have enough circuit board projects to not waste pcb, or they'll just waste pcb and charge you more for that.

For example, JLCPCB doesn't charge extra, but for all pcb colors other than green, they add 2 days to processing time, which is probably enough for them to gather enough boards.

maybe you misunderstood me, i know there are black, blue, red, etc... not just green. i have used some of them. but what i need to know if i can give them my preferred color which is not one of those standard colors... will any of them be able to do it for me? I thought perhaps someone here done it before.

i contacted pcbway and said they don't do it... but that was chat support not sales rep.

Uh, no. Soldermask is ready-made and bought in very large volumes, there's no way you can get soldermask color on demand.

so if i need a certain color, i can provide it to them and they order it in volume which means i need to have huge quantity. correct?

more like the arduino blue-greenish color
