On May 16, 2024, keycap designer biip updated his official X and released summary content on the development and shipping status of his products.
One item that stood out among the various keyboard and keycap-related information released was the KAT Milkshake item.
Please see the image here.

The base color of the keycap in the recently published image was black.

Collating these two pieces of information, it appears that KAT Milkshake will be available in two colors.
The GeekHack page presented as a link also shows a kit in two colors as well, so we can say that it will almost certainly be available in two colors.

What was even more of a surprise was the lineup of NOMAD KITs.

個人的には買いやすい製造元で販売してほしいですが…ベンダーの顔を立てる手前、GB終了後に本家でラインナップされるような気がしています。
日本から買いやすいのはzFlontierですが、サイト表記での買いやすさを考えるとNovelkeysでしょうか。
ただしNovelkeysでは日本までの送料がかなり高額となるため、やはりKeyreative本家での販売を待ちたいところですね。
