I just received the new contactless card and disliked the printing process and color used. I would rather see a lighter color for more contrast and laser etch printing. The card would look even lovelier without the name printed on the front and if they restored the Cardmember Since date.

Prominently shown in the video is an example of what appears to be the exact same faux-brushed steel look like used on the new JPMR.
