The white key style //e's don't discolor since they have that sprayed on

If you don't think the beige plastic discolors, you haven't seen many Apple 
IIIs or beige Mac Pluses. I had a heck of a time finding a presentable III
since most were used in offices where people didn't worry about having the
sun discolor their stuff.
