They still look a bit off to me, I mean it would still bother me. But if it doesn't bother you then enjoy it.

Wear it in good health :)

I can understand what you mean,
But for the effort I put in, for now this is the best I could get.

Maybe one day, I'll replace them once again for even more matching hands.

Looks great. Much better. Virtually impossible to find a perfect match by sourcing hands separately. Congrats.

Looks good! Now find yourself a nice faded fat font insert and you're done!

nice blend, contrast to some is better than an exact match to color.
