RE: HP 12c Platinum 25th Anniversary Limited Edition Hardwood Box Set
After digging out a handful of 12CPs, I think it may be as simple as this:

Initial versions (2) of the 12CP had a silver bezel, and this was on a blue/black plastic body. (HP was going for the Gold and Silver look for the pair of finance models)

Then the 25th Anniv Ed 12CP edition came out and the bezel was changed to solid black, and the plastic body color was changed to a solid black, to match the face. This black on black has been used ever since.

Does anyone have a 12CP that doesn't follow one of the above simple color schemes?

The 12C's that Keith Midson owns are not related to these normal production color schemes, those are units that were internal prototype and test shots with different color plastics for various reasons such as checking mold release, stress cracks, etc. though I've told it was also kinda cool to make colored shells.
