DEC VT52 - Keycap Set Idea

I was recently reading about old terminals and I stumbled upon the DEC VT52, VT55 and VT78 terminals. I thought the keycap colors looked cool and would look great as a SA profile set. What are your thoughts? Has this one been done before?

One could get pretty close by using keycaps from Round 6 (black, white, and red) and Dasher (dark blue).
But no, I've not seen an SA set specifically designed as a tribute to those DEC keyboards.

DSA run was pretty similar, although the set never never came to fruition.

The VT78 was actually a full computer rather than just a terminal. I used one for a while in the early 90s and remember being fascinated by the keycaps.
