Hmm, I'm not sure what the "standard" is; I've seen black, the very dark grey
that you mention, and also a lighter grey. Unfortunately I never paid
attention to the age of the machine to which the keys were attached (but all
the System keyboards that I've seen have had black keys, perhaps suggesting
that the black ones were also used on the earliest Atoms?)
(Can't help with keys, unfortunately! I did have a 'junk' Atom with dark-grey
keys at one point, but I dropped that one off at Bletchley before I moved)
cheers
