I have just done some research into this, having just ordered a gunmetal grey with brown switches.

 

Unfortunately they only do blue and brown switches with the gunmetal keyboard, and the black keyboard has red switches. As for silver, I can't remember.

Just ordered my gunmetal brown K70, spent a good hour looking for a black one in the UK and couldn't so I dunno.

Um, that's obviously silver...

That's actually gunmetal grey.

Here's how it stands right now:

MX Red switch: Black (actually black) with red LED. Silver (actually silver, like jewelry, similar shade) with blue LED.

MX Brown/Blue: Gunmetal grey with blue LED. The gunmetal color is almost exactly like actual semi auto pistols. It's also much closer to black than the silver K70.

There are no other combinations at this time.

Just got mine, gunmetal grey is actually a nice colour! Not disappointed at all that I couldn't get a black one, at least I didn't have to get silver cos that might have been too light in my opinion.

One of those things were you just need to see one in person to decide, though after taking the risk and buying one I'm not disappointed at all.
