This feature allows you to configure the supported colors for the keyboard backlight on rugged systems. There are six available colors: four predefined colors (white, red, green, blue), and two user configurable colors (custom1 and custom2). You can configure custom1 and custom2 colors using KeyboardBacklightCustom1Color and KeyboardBacklightCustom2Color attributes.
