Never understood why they went with that grey color.

Even other computers used the same color.

I remember buying a Atari 1020st (I might have gotten the number wrong). I bought it for word processing, since writing was my weak subject. I remember getting the computer home, and was hooked. I went through college without telling anyone about my computer. I felt like I was cheating.

The only thing I never liked was that horrid beige color.

Years later, while in a bad mood, I tossed my computer, and printer. There hasen't been a week that went by where I regret throwing it away. I tossed it because it was becomming obsolete, but mainly because of the color.

Does anyone know for sure why so many manufacturers when with that beige?
