A few years ago didn't Pentax have a DSLR body that came in a ton of 2 tone color options? Which one was it?

I believe all entry level DSLRs between K-r and K-50 has been avaialble in many different colors.
But K-r and K-50 had most color options of all of them.

From memory, the K-x, K-r and K-S1.

Of those I'd say the K-S1 is the best looking.

The K-S2 was available in a few colors; based on the Pentax Forums review, it was on the order of 10 different combinations, many of them two-tone.

Yep, the K50 did have the most with 120 color options. The K30 had color options also but not near as many.

Yes, the K-50 had many colours to choose from...

So far the K3 Prestige is the best color they came up with, IMHO.

That was a successful business decision

Don't forget the K-01 (although, like the Q7 above, not a DSLR of course)....

I loved the colours and thought at the time that photography was fun once but now it is just boring and all about ' i have better gear than anyone else ' and it feels like you cannot be an individual or do something different , pack mentality . This is what Pentax tried to do , personalise your camera and have fun with it . Smart phones come in many colours now and people love it . Once again Pentax was way ahead of the game .

After seeing the pics, it was the K-50 l was thinking of. l'd like to one in orange and white or blue and white.

Weren't there some that were painted themed after some toy line?
