@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. -

First one I bought was charcoal, or some other dark shade of gray. 25MHz 486 laptop.
Had had a fair few work provided beige boxes (work being IBM, mostly) before then. -

I remember this monitor but I'm certain it was a tower. 1995 or 6 HP Pavillion with Windows 95. I still remember the day my Dad got it all set up and turned it on and being so excited. I had pretty much no reason to use a computer at that age but seeing some of the games and watching him connect to AOL was enough to make it a core memory.

If my dad were on here he could tell you his first computer was a university mainframe that had no monitor, the only output was a teleprinter -
