The Amstrad CPC 464 I had as a kid had a lot of

Didn't the Datapoint terminals also have colored keys?
I'm not familiar with that one, but you made me think of later Newbury Labs
terminals (orange function keys) so I dug out my pictures of the storage
area at Bletchley Park and there's quite a few multi-coloured keycaps in
there:
VT220 (well, OK, the LK201 keyboard :p)
VT78
HP86 (and possibly HP85 too)
Microcolour Graphics ANSI terminals
ICL DRS20 and DRS50
MIMI 802 and 803
Torch Communicator (bright red and blue function keys)
ICL One-per-desk (see also Merlin Tonto)
TRS80 model 2 and 16
Sharp MZ80K and MZ700
Plus some British Telecom terms that are awash with different coloured keys
Is anyone keeping score? :)
