[Elecraft] K3 in different colors?

[T. David Yarnes]

Personally, I think black is a very "classy" color.  I'd 
even like to have a black automobile, notwithstanding the 
fact that I live in the Arizona desert!  I prefer K3 black 
to K2 gray, but I suppose that's just me.  Black is a 
neutral color (as are colors like tan and gray), but I think 
it contrasts better with other colors better than other 
neutral colors do.  Black is actually "the absence of 
color", so I guess that's why it works that way for me. 
Anyway, I vote to keep rolling out the products in black.

But if you want colors, take a look at that new german 
transceiver (Hilberling? or whatever).  It costs a fortune, 
but I saw it at Dayton, and you can get it in all sorts of 
colors--some were pretty wild!  Personally I thought some of 
the offered colors would only look good in a bordelo, but 
everyone to his or her taste!
