I just googled "Snow White Design Language" because I was curious. I found some interesting pictures and mock-ups/prototypes. I'd guess the (uber-expensive) AppleDesign would be the place to get the real scoop, but I don't have that kind of money for a used book.
I always loved the "future of Mac Design" articles in the Mac Press back in the '90s. Somewhere in the fora, there's a link to a Study in Macintosh Design.
BTW, I made up the "Black Snow Design Language" phrase for descriptive purposes, sort of the "Dark Side" of what FROG was doing. Taking the opposite extreme for a more contemporary take on "Snow White"which they seem to have experimented with a bit of as well.
Painting peripherals that will see use seems a bit much. Since many are already available in black finishes that match fairly-very well in terms of color/texture/gloss. "Black Snow" is a lazy waay out . . .
. . . not to mention the irresistible play on words between ""Snow White," White Snow," and "Yellow Snow."
