I know the black lettering on black full-size Realforce model exists, but I have read that the lettering is hard to read on that one.  Do any exist with clearer lettering?

Thanks.

The black exist with gold lettering as well.
The other option would be the white Topre with black lettering.

I don't believe an all 55g with white keys exists. Maybe gold on black.

Oh, you're damn right! I've missed the 55g part.
The white 55g was only available in tenkeyless, but it is no longer available.

However the full-size all 45g exist in white at Leopold.

Then learn how to touch type, or buy a led lamp!

Is there anywhere I can buy gold-legend keycaps for my black realforce 55g?  I bought the board with black-legends on black keys, but would prefer to be able to read them.
I use my modded Kinesis Advantage (Black).  It has a Kinesis numpad between the halves.

Not an ideal solution, but you could buy white keycaps from Elitekeyboards, and put them on there for the alphanumerical section... you can read them now! They just look ugly.

Oh, the HHKB keycaps from EliteKeyboards will work on Realforce?  Good to know, I suppose, though I already went ahead and ordered a white Realforce with variable key weights.
