I wanted to try inverse clouds with black instead of white. It really muted the blue color and darkened them more than I expected. I don’t think they look bad but I’m kinda surprised at how much attention they are getting from people I show them to.

Those do look rad, but I think filling the digits in white would help them be easier to read.
Not necessarily white, maybe something closer to 50–70% darkness,. So, subtle but still plenty of pop. And I agree, they look great! I think because they're simply very unique/individual, I haven't seen something too similar to these before so they're immediately cool.
I’m planning to do a blue to accentuate the color, lighter than the base so it’s readable but not bright enough to take away the darkness.
Oh I expected gold for the numbers
I don’t like using gold because it becomes a habit. Gold goes well on most things so it ends up being the main color used once you start using it. I’m trying to use more color theory with my numbers.
Oooh smart actually
Nah, go obnoxious orange for evens, and a more redder orange for odds. 20 is more torward white with the orange aired out from it so it looks like it's glowing.
Yes, I realise that contradicts my last comment completely lol
As did I.
