Got down voted here but I was being serious. That greige colour of early Apple was part of the branding that made room for the colourful logo. These race cars break design rules and look worse for it.
- olyjohn 6mo agoYeah except the race cars look amazing, and this is one of those liveries that has been legendary for decades.
- 1attice 5mo ago...but it's not the livery that Apple actually used at the time? Near as I can honestly tell, anyway. Also. Personally, I don't think the cars look great in white.
- CamperBob2 5mo agoThere was no shortage of bright white plastic in late 80s-early 90s Apple products. //c, Unidisk 3.5, and the like. It all looked fine.
- 1attice 5mo agoI recall mostly greige from that period, changing slightly in hue between the Apple IIe and (say) the Quadra line. Citation needed
- CamperBob2 5mo agoE.g., https://mirrors.apple2.org.za/Apple%20II%20Documentation%20Project/Peripherals/Disk%20Drives/Apple%20UniDisk%203.5/Photos/ https://mirrors.apple2.org.za/Apple%20II%20Documentation%20P... for some good shots of the 800k UniDisk drives. We used a lot of those where I worked, back in the day. They were as white as the driven snow. IIRC some of the //cs were a silvery-greige color, like the IIGS, but the first ones were certainly white.
- 1attice 5mo agoYes, it took a few years of tweaking to get the colorway right. Too bad they didn't use the final product for these cars.
