Beige PCs were more of an '80s thing. In the early '90s, most manufacturers shifted to gray.
Honestly, though, I miss the colorful iMacs of the late '90s. Now they're all this boring white. I like seeing computers that come in a variety of color options. It's actually influenced my purchasing decisions for phones: my current phone is an ice blue Nexus 5X, and my last one was a bright red Nexus 5.
- bitwize 10y agoAs I recall it, beige was the standard PC color -- even for Apple kit -- until well into the 1990s. I remember rows of brand new beige Dells running NT4 one place I worked in 1997. Colorful iMacs hail from a time when Apple was a computer company. These days, PCs are a secondary concern for them.
