Apple II+ here. Non-beige was an innovation that came later.
@PrinceOfDenmark @Em0nM4stodon Apple IIe in our case. Even computer number two, an IBM PC XT, was a shamelessly beige box. We did have a monitor for it that let you cheese between green, amber, or white text on black. Which I always set to amber.

@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.

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. -
