Apple had a Project Pink back in '88 to be the successor to System Software 6. They hoped to release it in 1993, instead buying NeXT in 1997 and launching OS X in 2001: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copland_(operating_system)#Pink_and_Blue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copland_(operating_system)#Pin...
Microsoft's Project Pink was the result of their Danger acquisition. It didn't fare well either: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Kin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Kin
I wish Google the best of luck.
