Which color was your first computer?
@Em0nM4stodon Beige for the Vic-20 which was the first computer in the house (not mine alone). Dad upgraded to the Commodore 64 not too long after.
The first mine-alone computer *could* be the Radio Shack Microcomputer Trainer kit, but if counting more general-purpose and complete systems it was the Color Computer 3 (in that case: white). -

I never thought of the old plasic off-white as "beige", but I suppose it does fit.
First computer that was mine or does a family computer count? I think the first computer in my house was a gateway desktop, so that off-white beige. The first computer that was mine was a hand-me-down macbook that was silver.
Is the turquoise option here for those clear blue plastic macs?
@crypticrainfall Yes I thought it might be more common than it seems to be

@Em0nM4stodon Speccy +2, so boring grey with token rainbow. This is the weird first attempt by Amstrad, between the Sinclair 128 (black) and the +2A/+3 (both black), and it looks a bit like a CPC 464 but without the exciting colourful keys

But what color was the monitor screen?@ClancyParliament @Em0nM4stodon this one needs an "other" too... mine was the black-and-white CRT of a hand-me-down Magnavox TV with broken rabbit-ears.
I can still hear that sweet, sweet vsync spooling up.

Full colour with the caveat that it was CGA and therefore more... four-colour.
Still counts! I did also use other boxen back then which had amber and green, but the home box was CGA running some very early version of DOS.

It was off-white. I had a silly dial up emachines which was aol. The best thing about it was the AImchat which was very polite back then and no one hacked anyone.
