[sdiy] blue copper-clad circuit boards?

[patchell]

    Blue fiberglass material does exist for PC board material...I
haven't seen any, however, for over twenty years.  The "keypad" for my
Paia 8700 is made from the blue PCB material.  I have also seen Blue
solder mask, as well as one board with black solder mask...so, you can
color coordinate quite a bit if you are willing to pay...
