This is really the only way to go for the second part of your request. You may find with your custom legends for media controls that the price might add up pretty quickly.

They keycaps and legend lasering are not the highest quality in the keyboarding world, but you said "not looking for special".

You may find it cheaper and more aesthetically pleasing to just buy a $20-$40 tai hao set through one of the vendors on here and/or ebay.

I don't know how to just get 1-6. Like I said, finding and paying for someone to take it out of a set may cost more than buying a whole Tai Hao set (which you can use to accent other parts of the board when you get bored).

You could buy a full set of pbt keycaps off ebay for the same price, and just use the keys you need

One big question - "different colour" to what?

Also if you're mixing keycaps you probably want to get them in the same profile otherwise they will be different heights which feels weird when you type on them and doesn't look great.
