Who's Afraid of Red, Yellow, and Blue is a series of paintings by American painter Barnett Newman. I am a really big fan of Newman's work, and this series is no different.
The goal is to enable anyone to create each painting using their keyboard as the canvas.

Vendors
At the moment, it is just me. I recently delivered the J42Kbm as an in-stock buy and learned a lot.
I am open to vendors to help out with non-US sales, but I don't expect this to be too large.

Does the top of the enter key just float?  Haven't seen this one before.  Do they have the mold for it or would this be new?

It does exist (known as "Little Ass Enter") for most of SP's profiles. It's only really used for custom builds, and the rare 40s board built for it. No stabs needed, the top wing just floats.
