GMK is more like give us them pantone colors for the legends and keys but minimal 250 quantities order we got you covered and you are behind the other 30 GMK sets that are in the wait list to be manufactured. If you use stock GMK colors 150 MOQ if i am right.

I am pretty sure GMK gives you a stock render if you give them the pantone colors. Like this one below. But pictures with keyboards can help a IC a lot. Also for rendering software you can best use Blender 3D if you don't want to pay big license prices . But if you never have done something with 3D software rendering i would just pay someone to do it.
