Yup... supposedly there was a prototype CoCo 3 within a black molded case.
That discussion dates to a few years ago while Marty Goodman was still an
active CoCoist.

It'd be neat to custom mod a CoCo to such a color. The case would not be a
problem at all but the keyboard: white lettering on black keycaps could be a
challenge to get... unless some rather painstaking process to repaint the
caps and lettering was embarked upon.

Maybe I'll try that. Have the can of black paint for the case already :-)
