I haven't yet posted the most commonly requested colour schemes (where colour is an option).
Most popular by far is natural with brown -- it works well with natural wood or veneer.
and then quite a ways back, natural with black.

With naturally white cones a distant 3rd is black with white or grey. Cones that start out black usually end up with this colour scheme too.
Another fairly popular, and more subtle, colour scheme is natural w light grey.

A couple more;
light blue with yellow (not possible with new FE126En -- the robin's egg blue comes out lime green)
and natural with red

Dave, are these the Hawthorne Audio Coaxials in post #22?
If so, did EnABL'ing them yield as many benefits as with other drivers?

Yes.
But there was more work than just EnABL. These drivers are not very well built (sloppy) and the 15" has a lot of resonances in at least the top 2 octaves of its range. I was able to clean up some of them and was able to reduce the resonances.
They are in The Netherlands now, and the owner thinks they are a big improvement. From some of the questions asked after, i'm gonna guess that he learned to EnABL himself so that he could do his other (5?) SIs (he also has a set of Augies (a much better driver thn the coax) that i treated as well)
Some people really like this driver and i can understand the appeal, but i'm not a fan. Something like MJKs passive OB does the same things and a lot better.

Dave: Did you get to hear the above drivers ? if so in which enclosures--
(how are those 10.2 coming, btw? 🙂)

A day late for St. Patty's
And mounted in the complementary box they were done for. The drivers aren't quite as subtle as i was aiming for, but such is R&D.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

This is a set of FE126eN^2 in what i call Shades of Grey
And a set in standard Natural with Brown livery. The middle ring seem in other FE126/127 EnABL2 driver sis in stealth.
This last driver alos had the optional basket stiffening, here compared to a stock frame.
