What's the chance Ricoh will come out w/ a third color scheme for the K-70 body outside of Silver & Black?

Could there be a limited edition like the Gun-Metal K-3? I know the special edition was for the awards it gained.

Maybe White or Desert Brown?

We know as much as you do, but my bet is that they don't release more colours. Last time I looked, even the Japanese release only received two colours, which is unusual. They've never added colours to non-flagship bodies after release, as far as I'm aware.

The K-30, K-S1, and K-01 all received additional colors after release.

Back for another try: Pentax K-01 mirrorless camera resurrected in Japan

Pentax K-30 DSLR adds 15 new color options, gets both matte and gloss finishes

I could be wrong, but those additional K-30 colours were already available in Japan, weren't they?
