This is very nice, but can you use a darker red and darker green? Maybe RBC and VV?

Colors are: RA, VCS and BFP.

Yeah, nobody else does sphericals right now. And while dyesub can produce some very nice looking keycaps, you are limited to dark(er) legends on light(er) keycaps, which eliminates any chance of having light legends on dark or richly colored caps. Until Vortex or some other manufacturer figures out how to do double-shot PBT sphericals, I encourage 7bit to stick with SP. Besides, he's been working with them for many years and has a solid relationship with them. Going somewhere else means having to build up that rapport all over again from scratch.

I can't argue with sphericals! :D

I concur, I prefer ABS over PBT any day. Well worn ABS caps have that "home" feeling to them.

I still like darker modifiers...

Yellow and orange might work as supplemental colorways to Honey, but I don't think we've exhausted the core vintage colorways yet (hence the cream/biege and charcoal gray suggestion).
That suggestion sounds a lot like Retroblight

But I too would like to see some more vintage/yellow themed sets.

Would be possible to do these kinds of sets for ibm boards with buckling spring?

Sorry but capacitive F switches are the only switch that love. Would be neat to have a dark set for the unsaver once I complete it.

I know the demand is much lower, but I'm sure there must be others that would love a buckling spring spherical set of caps.

There isn't anyone really making spherical caps for buckling spring keyboards. Signature Plastics definitely doesnt and never will. Unicomp is pretty much the only place to get replacement caps right now. You can order custom printed keys, and have a few color choices from them, but that's about it.

We would need some tools to make the keys:
1, 1.25, 1.5, 1.75 and whatever size the space bar has.
Any larger key can be split up into 2.

The rest are too dark, too many colors, too unlikeable colors, or not my taste, or had been done before (SA Retro).

I think a navy blue + desaturated blue + bright blue, would make an extremely desirable scheme:

BBI / BFQ
BFR / BFQ
BFQ / BFR
