Gerhard and Rick Be assured that the 3278-5 was *monochrome*, usual green on black.
At the time it was announced its USP was the 132 character width and - IMMSMC - this announcement was cotemporaneous with the colourful 3279 - all models - somewhere in the vicinity of 1978. I remember the 3278 well because I was in an unit responsible for showing off this sort of equipment. There was no software to show the 3278-5 doing its "thing" off the shelf so I was obliged to cobble together a VTAM program which could present a 132-character wide listing and - returning as closely as I can to the subject of this thread - PF7 paged "up" and PF 8 paged "down" - and I can't remember what I did with any of the other PF keys - more than 30 years ago!
