What Color Is This iMac?
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.
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.

I have the same iMac thats the 500 Mhz version. That was the version near the end of the iMac G3s run
lol thanks unity. it was a joke on principle.
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.

All of them were IBM CPU's...
That would definitely explain the texture and transparency differences. The colors also aren't quite bright enough from what I've seen. But it's the only one I could find that showed something blueberryish next to something indigoish, so there ya go.
Putting together an accurate color chart thing with all of the different G3 models represented would be a great project for someone who has access to high quality pictures of them in a light that doesn't distort the colors too much, since this seems to be the only chart that has all of the colors together.
If I ever owned a flower power iMac, I would use it as my main computer and ditch the i5, etc.
No, Motorola made PowerPC G3s, as well as IBM.
That's not Blue, it's gold! wait, that's not a picture of a dress...
Sage is still my favorite iMac of that time.
My first love was Tangerine (which i why my first Macs were two Tangerine iMacs and a Tangerine iBook), but I find I'm more fond of blues and greens nowadays. Especially darker blues and turquoises.
However, to be honest, I like it all. Apple did a good job choosing these colors (though they did sort of get a bit out there with the Flower Power and Blue Dalmatian models (even those are somewhat decent looking, though the FP iMac is quite garish looking I think).
Suffice it to say, I like colors!

Colors are clearly big, seeing how well the iDevices (and new MacBook) have done with them. The gold models are extremely popular in all cases.
I like all the colors
Yeah, I love all of the colors too. If I absolutely had to pick a favorite it would be bondi, since my favorite color at the moment is teal. But really they're all gorgeous. Someday it would be nice to collect all the colors and own the rainbow!
