Hello All,
Time to clear this up... I recently purchased a sealed in box A2S4100 (Memory Expandable) Apple IIc as well (I'm not the Flickr guy, I got mine around XMAS). I too opened the sealed unit as it was screaming to be liberated after all those years
The color is "Fog" as ALL Apple IIc's were. Apple never made a platinum 5.25 drive IIc. My IIc was made after the IIgs came out and after the Mac line went platinum. Apple continued to make the original IIc in the "Fog" color until it EOL'd. The color change that DID occur was in the Keyboard Keys, Power Cords, and Disk Drive door which changed from a Khaki or Tan color into a gray color. I'm pretty sure these changes came about co-incident with the A2S4100 "Memory Expandable" IIc model.
