Always something else.
I have had several Apple Extended Keyboards, M0115, most with orange switches but some with salmon. My first oranges I mistook for salmon, since the colors can be close (depending on whether the fish was wild-caught or farm-raised of course) but generally there is a distinct difference.
Yesterday I opened up my first M0116 and found switches that are pink. I would call these "pale pink" and not "salmon" at all, although I do not currently own any AEKs with salmons to compare.
Is this just a dye lot variation? I have never found much to differentiate between this family of colors except that some tend to be earlier or later production dates.
Are these really "pink Alps" or simply red herrings?
Thanks, Daniel, you are probably the one who knows best.
