As a part of their roll out of the new Xbox One S, Microsoft revealed that it will soon be offering custom color controllers to potential buyers. The controllers, purchasable through their new Xbox Design Lab mini-site, start at $79.99 and offer color options on virtually every surface, along with custom engraving ($10). The total price undercuts similar services like Colorware and The Controller Shop by at least $10, but doesn’t void the controller’s warranty. The third party modifiers also allow for more customization options than Microsoft, such as texture changes and appliques.

I took a tour of the Xbox mini-lab at E3 and grabbed as many photos of the controller color options as I could. There are some great hue and value selections, but it’s the many possible combinations of colors that make for juicy final products.

Here’s the creation I made online:

And here are some of the many variations they showcased at E3. Though there are a few punchy colors, the majority accentuate the matte finish, and mute the saturation (but still maintain a delectable contrast):
