ITead Studio is offering a new “Color your PCBs” service. You can chose to have your boards in red, blue, white, yellow, or black. There’s only a $5 price increase, but instead of 10 boards you get 8. To make up for the smaller board output, they are providing e-testing for all the boards free of charge.

That is actually a nice range of colors! Black PCB’s and White PCB’s always make me smile for some odd reason. :P
Currently using a range of colours on our products, Red, Blue, Yellow and Black all at same cost as Green form our supplier. Is great was to make the board look that little different and stand out.
Is ITead Studio somehow connected to Seeed Studio? They offer virtually the exact same PCB service at the same prices, and have very similar names.
They are competitors in the same place in China. Seeed started first, Itead copied the model later. They both use the same cheap proto board house in China, and the PCBs are the same thing from the same board house.
Nice move for ITead. I wish they would offer price breaks at 50 and 100 pcs like seeed does.
