i don't understand what burgundy and green have to do with a C64. if you need mods a different color from the alphas, they should be gray.

nightdriverI agree having grey would be cool (and possibly doable), but I believe the reasoning behind green is because it was present on the DSA/SA Retro versions (I own the SA one) and truth be told it looks kinda nice.

MiToi agree that the colors go well together, but at the same time it throws off the commodore look. i actually have some maxkeys knockoff of the retro SA set and the burgundy has always bugged me about it because it doesn't look legit.
thinking about this one anyway though because i want the petscii.

nightdriverI agree with you. Green was added as an accent a long time ago just because it looked good but originally the set was meant to be full brown with gray (and actually yellow) accent. Drop says they are planning to add more options soon and they actually asked for the color codes for the missing colors... so there's still hope

nightdriverThe concept of "Retro" as a set is to recall not just one specific old computer, but old computers in general, and takes themes and iconography from multiple sources. The green and burgundy come from the One Per Desk computer-phone terminals:

How do you do per-key RGB lighting on a Shift V2?
I saw the online configurator that lets you do this on the Shift V1, where it spits out a compiled firmware file to flash. The V2 doesn't seem to have this function in the Windows configurator, though. I can't imagine the answer here is "you're going to have to manually write the hex for every key in QMK, compile it, and flash that".
