I've been looking at info on the Internet, and I have gotten confused. A
lot of places say that the DEC VT525 can do color graphics, whereas some
places say it can only do text. Is there a DEC color graphics (ReGIS and
Sixels) terminal that can accept a PS/2 keyboard?

You can run a VT340 emulator on a PC in full screen mode and it will appear
for all intents and purposes as a terminal that accepts a PS/2 keyboard.
However, no the VT525 is _not_ a graphics terminal according the
manufacturer (www.boundless.com) Boundless bought all of the VT rights from
DEC when they exited the terminal business.
So I think you are stuck using a VT340 (or VT340+) if you want a "terminal"
with color ReGIS or Sixel graphics.

I know you can define different colors on the VT525, but I've never tried
to do any kind of graphics on mine. I'll check this weekend and see what
the capabilities are in terms of color graphics.

The VT525 offers colour text only. The last colour graphics terminal
from DEC was the VT340. However, the VT340 takes an
LK201 keyboard, not
PS/2.
You'll find the definitive specification at Boundless Technologies'
website, <URL:http://www.boundless.com/bti>.
