What Color Is This iMac?
Posted by: Juliet Elysa on 2015-04-06 22:59:30
I think it's indigo, but not completely sure. Can someone verify this for me please?



My cat loves my vintage Macs too. 😛 Back when we used our bondi iMac on a daily basis he would constantly sit on top of it while it was powered on and warm.

Indigo!

Yes, it's indigo.

Very very Indigo. I don't see any FireWire ports so I'm thinking 350MHz model?

Meow....

I thought the 350 Mhz model only came in blueberry

Later they had a 350MHz Indigo as well. It was $799.

Cool, signature updated. 🙂 This computer was passed on to me from a good family friend... back in the day I spent tons of time playing Bugdom and Bugdom 2 on it. Good memories!

I think he's graphite, right?  Not indigo.

Posted by: matacao on 2015-04-11 11:49:32
No graphite is gray, indigo is blue.

Unnecessarily large pictures for the win! :lol:

It was probably the lighting that tripped me up regarding my iMac. Color can sometimes be tricky for me - I know tons of different names for similar colors, and in some situations I can easily identify even the slightest differences but in other situations... nope. 😛

Looks graphite to me.... one would say almost black. Not blue.... 😉

I'm sitting here looking at MY Indigo iMac. And I say it's indigo. :lol:

Eugh, that picture Juliet Elysa linked, with all the iMac colours… Is pretty terrible. If you look closely, you'll notice that it's a hue-adjusted image of a single iMac, which doesn't account for the changing of textures, etc in different iMac models.

The blue dalmatian and flower power are really just photoshopped in.

looks like something that i have 20 of in the locker 😛

500mhz motorola CPU version… to boot.

Posted by: SuperToaster on 2015-04-11 19:41:15
I have the same iMac thats the 500 Mhz version. That was the version near the end of the iMac G3s run

Posted by: raoulduke on 2015-04-11 20:10:20
lol thanks unity.  it was a joke on principle.

Posted by: uniserver on 2015-04-11 20:18:04
yeah once they switched over to the IBM CPU… the iMac turned to total crap.

the 400 - 450 - 500 mhz ( motorola ) iMac's were strong.

I was not sure if that was what you were hinting to or not. 🙂 Not sure if anyone else here got it.
