Just one time, I had a system (might have been a Spectre) that had this type of "hard to see" keyboard.
Nice little computer - the silver keys were Not a favorite feature.
No, there is not a "black" keyboard option listed in the service manual.
There is, however, a backlit keyboard available (if you don't already have that option).
Not sure it would help in a brightly lit room -- In many settings a backlit keyboard is a nice feature.

Not a simple process, though doable.
There are all sorts of videos on YouTube showing the procedure.
A skill tech could do the job, of course.
Might be worth the effort to ask a local tech about what they would charge...
