Between the official versions and the mods, there are every color except gray! The gray of the NES, the Game Boy, the SNES.
Why?
>>
>>12578643
To make it look more like a contemporary piece of state of the art late 90s tech, matching everything else in your tv cabinet (except the light gray playstation or SNES you might have in there, which the sleek N64 now makes look out of date).

>why don't consoles look like consoles released half a decade earlier
Design trends constantly change

>>12578659
the 64 looks too much like a toy to pass as cool or sleek.

>state of the art late 90s tech
State of the art late 90s tech was moving away from black. Black was the outdated late 80s/early 90s feel.

Actual tech and not fruity shit used by homosexual hipsters still used black designs

>>12579038
Most towers back then were beige.

And so were monitors. And the cameras my family had in the late 90s were grey. And my discman was grey. And my little CRT my mom bought to shut me up was grey and green.

But you said they were moving away from black
If that's the case then this wasn't for very long because pic related is a PC from 2001

The gray of the Playstation.
Japanese chronic asspain is like no other, and the butthurt they had over Sony was monumental.

PS1 is more of a successor to the SNES than the N64 is

Apple was not state of the art anything until Jobs came back and rebooted all their lines in the mid 00s. Their late 90s tech was considered retarded toy tech for retarded children, and they had to have Microsoft giving them money to not go bankrupt.

Damn that’s actually pretty cool. I’d snag one if they actually had made one. Those custom shells are expensive and usually suck tho and i dont even know if they make this color. Pretty rad OP

No custom shell in gray...

Jobs came back to Apple in 1997. The iconic iMac >>12578950 was his thing.
>>
You guys are arguing about what color was fashionable in 1995, but even today, those who make custom cases still don't offer grey...
>>
>>12578950
Only homos had those

I didn't know that existed. Cool. Not really necessary prior to DVD drives though.
>>
>>12578643
That looks so good, I want one.

And this ?
>>
>>12579313
I’d get that one too. Damn why has no one ever done a shell of this? Now that u posted it, it seems so obvious. This is what they should’ve done as one of the color schemes for either the analogue 3d or the new m64. Someone hire this man, he’s got good ideas.
>>
>>12579267
Yea I looked to see and no one is doing this. Feels like such a great idea tho, it’s definitely a lot cooler than those awful garish neon translucent shells they are selling.
