@Em0nM4stodon I remember C64 seemed to be slightly more brown than beige. It could have been the function keys, or the lighting, but it seemed slightly darker than other computers.

@Em0nM4stodon
My first computer was an S-100 backplane with an S-100 Z-80 board complete with 64K memory. The linear +8volt and +/- 16volt power supplies and two 8" Shugart floppy drives were next to it on my filing cabinet.Later I mounted all that in the base of an old Vydec word processor, replacing the Vydec screen and keyboard with a wooden top to make a desk.
It was not very portable.

@Em0nM4stodon c64 (the original model, not the slimmer one), so certainly on the beige scale, but not really what i think of when i think of computer beige…
@brhfl @Em0nM4stodon zx spectrum, so black, followed by much commodore beige and then commodore off-white

@Em0nM4stodon I had a red and white punch card computer with 8 different colored buttons and a sizeable stack of programs - VTECH Little Talking Scholar, just looked it up!. I enjoyed it a lot as a toddler
A few years later though I upgraded to a beige Packard Bell running Windows 95 and DOS. -

Apple II+ here. Non-beige was an innovation that came later.

@Em0nM4stodon my first computer was given to me by my dads girlfriend, and was in a bright red painted metal case. Prior to that I used my dads computer, which was black.
The first computer I ever assembled myself was black, and the first prebuilt computer I ever disassembled was black. All the computers I ever used in school were also black.
First laptop I ever had was silver. When I had a Macbook it was silver, and now my current laptop is silver.
