For a blue gray theme, the classic ti-82:

Well, if you did SA Dolch and combined it with SA Dasher, you'd have all the colors you need for that TI colorway.

I've got a Ti-52 in the same color scheme, but it is too close to what we had in Round 4 and 6.

Did this quick with keyboard layout editor, which I don't know how to change the font on to get the one used on spherical sets:

Blues: BBQ, BFP
Greys: GSM, GB

Or a more blue/slate theme (figured out there was an SA template):

BBQ, BED, GSM

Just messing around, this is a new toy for me. :mrgreen:

I think the medium gray needs to be more like GE, not GSM, in order to match the TI.

And, yes, Honey colors are "close", but GPA and NN are not close enough to GE and GX for me. :D

I like the browns! I'd make the spacebar cream and the RETURN key red (maybe also the numpad ENTER key). But I like the biege scheme.

The only problem with it is that, as pointed out elsewhere, those lovely colors only really shine on a keyboard with a biege case, which you can't get today. They only exist as vintage relics.

Yeah actually that would be pretty much it, eh?

Yeah that's true, not quite the same on black.

The cream & biege would look something like this (with a biege case, of course). I think a slightly darker brown than WAR for the mods might be in order.

Speaking of beige I quite like the color scheme from Luxor's 'ABC' line of computers. I think it was discussed as a color scheme for round 5 back in the day.

I think you can achieve that with Carbon.

Not really, as far as I remember – you could get some mods in orange, like enter and escape, but the bulk of them where only available in gray.

How about the IBM beam spring legends? Especially tab, backspace and the wonderful caps lock icon? :)
