K3 in different colors?

[Darwin, Keith]

My XYL loves pink.  Our wedding color was pink.
Our living room furniture & decor is pink & mauve.
Our bedroom walls are pink.
Our master bathroom is painted a very, very, hot, rich shade of dark
pink.
I have and wear pink dress shirts.

If I were opposed to pink, I'd have been in serious trouble years ago!

K3 in pink sounds just peachy to me.

LOL!!

Any ham with a ham wife will instantly know this is a bad idea. Many a
time I've bought an item of ham gear that I've wanted under the pretense
it was for her. If a colour choice is on offer, I'd have to live with
whatever colour she picks. I just can't imagine having a pink K3 in the
shack!

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!

Should make an interesting Eham review!

Believe it or not, "camo" has been suggested as a

I vote for "tiger stripe".  Always my favorite.  Though MARPAT is
pretty good too.

Might that depend on whether the majority of the contacts will be data versus
voice?

Perhaps Rose could find some mufti material.

I want one in Isuzu "Proton Yellow" to match the color of my 2001 Vehicross.  
It will compliment my yellow driving jacket, writing pen, beach towel, caps,
travel bags, and the Pennzoil motor oil.

Hopefully Ken (N0PP) and Rose can provide a matching cover in that color also.
