Aquarius.. WHAT COLOR?

[psquare75]

I know how old Okidata printers and SNES consoles sometimes turn a sick shade of brown/yellow, like baby poo. Is the Aquarius "supposed" to be battleship gray, or this yellow-tan color that both of mine, and all my accessories, seem to be?

The Aquarius was originally cream-colored:

 

 

I suppose the color you're seeing could have been caused by sun damage, although the Aquarius doesn't seem as vulnerable to this as, say, the SNES.

Yeah, that pic matches mine. My spare one is a bit darker. I'm almost tempted to do a color change to make it look a bit more modern and at home in my living room.

That's a neat idea. What color would you pick?

Probably a stainless gray. Hmm.. My 'oldish' Aquarius could use some love too.

 

Problem is.. I want to pick up a Vic20 (cousin had one when I was little and for some reason it sticks out in my mind as something we/he had fun with.)

 

If I go down the slippery slope of changing the colors of consoles and computers, where does it stop?
