    Not unless you change the backlight LEDs yourself.

    Is it possible to take a marker and color it in with blue or something?

    No, unless you have an alienware or something outta this world, you can't customize the color of backit keyboard.

    I modded my WASD keys a year or so ago by pulling up the keys and the gluing acetate under the key caps.

    As I said, I just pulled up the keys and glued orange acetate on them where the light shines through. The hooks were in the way a little bit on the W and D keys so that's why the corners aren't orange too.
