@Em0nM4stodon beige Packard Bell here
@Em0nM4stodon Grey as far as I remember
@Em0nM4stodon Commodore VIC-20 beige.
@Em0nM4stodon Beige for the Vic-20 which was the first computer in the house (not mine alone). Dad upgraded to the Commodore 64 not too long after.
The first mine-alone computer *could* be the Radio Shack Microcomputer Trainer kit, but if counting more general-purpose and complete systems it was the Color Computer 3 (in that case: white).
@Em0nM4stodon dark gray Powerbook 145. i loved it dearly and more than any other laptop i encountered since.

I don't recall for sure if it was beige or black. The screen was green and black, without a doubt. Oh wait, maybe It was amber and black? Naw. Green for the first one. Amber must've have been the second screen

I never thought of the old plasic off-white as "beige", but I suppose it does fit.
First computer that was mine or does a family computer count? I think the first computer in my house was a gateway desktop, so that off-white beige. The first computer that was mine was a hand-me-down macbook that was silver.
Is the turquoise option here for those clear blue plastic macs?
@crypticrainfall Yes I thought it might be more common than it seems to be 
I guess this is beige
@Em0nM4stodon I marked beige, but that was my first PC, maybe grey-ish. Thans I remembered my first computer was a ZX Spectrum, it was black naturely.
I'm taking this question to mean "which color was the first computer you were allowed to futz with regularly?" not "which color was the first computer that was your own?".
No idea what the board was in it, but it was a generic beige 486DX4 mini tower running OS/2 WARP 4.
@Em0nM4stodon It was a home built system back in 1978 which lived in a cardboard box.
