The Amstrad CPC 464 I had as a kid had a lot of
funky-coloured keys.
ESC and the "Record" key on the built-in tape drive were red.
TAB, CAPS LOCK, DEL, COPY, both SHIFTS, and CTRL were green.
Both ENTERs were blue.

Until, of course, they reached germany, where Schneider decided those
colored keys were entirely too funky and repainted them a nice,
boring, uniform grey.
I seem to recall there having been a bit of a grey market getting
french or british 464 (etc) since they were much cooler looking...
