My WYSE keycaps look nothing like those colors. That WYSE pictured by 7Bit is much rarer version.

I have WYSE PCE 840358-01 and lettering is so dark blue its nearly black. And keys are dark grey (GTD) and almost tan not even close to GSX color above.

Its not fading either....

If those are the colors you're going with, I want my money back. This should have been decided BEFORE having people pay.....

Is it really that different?  The model I have is the one pictured here http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wyse-PCE-Keyboard-Wyse-901865-Wyse-840358-01-Wyse-901866-Wyse-841038-Wyse-900233-/350556978002?pt=COMP_EN_Workstations&hash=item519ed2fb52

It looks damn close to the one you've got apart from the black strip up top instead of grey and my keys look like this:

Now take into account real world lighting differences and the fact that different cameras capture colors slightly different and different monitors display colors slightly different and I think there isn't much in it between my image and 7bits.  

Also, in my room lighting the dark grey looks tan and the blue legends look almost black like you described.  Shining a bright white LED over it, (or doing a proper white balance) gets it to look like my image above.  My previous color estimates were from images posted by others and some fiddling in Photoshop.  There was no guarantee that they would have matched.  7bits require no fiddling in photoshop and look pretty much as close as any of the other images.

You need a color sample ring to see if these colors mtch or not. If your key caps are yellowed, you need to compare them at the underside.

To match new keys with old yellowed ones, you should sunbath them until they match!

7Bit's seem to match almost perfectly. Shawn, I think yours would probably look the same under identical lighting and maybe with some retrobriting, but if you really want to cancel your order, shoot me a PM.
Got a smaller board with white ALPS, Montereys, Cherry Blues, Reds, or Clears you'd like to offload?  Shoot me a PM. Looking for a grey Leopold FC700R in particular.

Wyse buy colors were GSY for the dark grey, GBA for the light grey, and BBI for the fonts.

Alright, I'm going to shake down the last couple members, since at this point they've gotta pay or we can't run addons. I'll let you guys know when I finally order.

I don't think you should, because it is not grammatically pleasing.

I'd need someone to take on an extra addon kit or two to be able to drop the other orders successfully. Except if I drop all the base kits from those orders, we're below 75 (73). So if people want to take a couple extra so I can scrap those orders, PM me. I think I need 2 base kits and 1 addon kit. More wouldn't hurt though.

I just realized I had a nearly complete WYSE set.  I didn't know the enter key, shift keys, and ctrl keys fit.  This set looks amazing on this board...I can't wait till the Moogle kit comes in.  Hurry up SP!

Yeah, I too am really only waiting on the bottom row of 1.25 modifiers and a spacebar. It's going to look so good!

The keycaps on WYSE 840358-1 are light beige. The legends look black, but are dark navy.Same for 840338-01.

On 840358-13, the keycaps are light grey. The legends look closer to blue, lighter than those on 840358-1.

Most of them are made in Taiwan, but some in China.

What keyboard was 7Bit using for color matching? Hopefully it was the more common 840358-1. Everything else is nearly impossible to get.
