You don't always get to all the questions, but I hope you can answer this one.
Thank you.

Dear Newereader:
Yes, the initial shipment is all black (not a bad thing). Thank you for asking this question as I am the driving force behind Electric Blue at Astak. I have insisted on colors from the start! The problem is that WHEN you choose a color... it does not come out like you envision it. There is a thing called a Pantene Color Chart to standardize colors. You can pick a color in the USA and Taiwan/China knows exactly what you want. We did that. Unfortunately, the plastic factory mixed as recommended by the color chart and ended up with a color that does not look close. It is blue: but not "our blue". So, they are sending us two casings, one in Metallic Red (supposedly) and one in Electric Blue (supposedly). We will see these next week. We pray they are passable!! If not, we will try to compensate to get what we want in plastic. Apparently resins wreak havac with colors.
We WILL have a second order in (likely) late January. THAT will have four colors. I am very disappointed as I LOVE color in my electronics too. This is a part of the headaches that come with getting something to market. Sorry, Newereader. I am sorry for me too.
