Its funny that a small thing such as the colour of the console you buy can be such a factor these days, but not all colours fit each console best.

Which do you think is the very best colour for a Video Games Console?

Also Which Colours Fit which Console Best?

Back on topic

Blue

for psp a neon yellow front cover and the original black back cover. for ps2 it would be sweet if they made one with a glossy black (similar to the original psp's color)

as for gamecube...it always looked bad in all its colors, dont get me wrong i own a gamecube and dont think its a bad system at all, its just a bit bulky in shape.

as for gbc----->transparent orange.:cool:

i always dreamed of a neon green nes+snes

sega had the genisis hooked up already with the rough black surface.

and to go way back, the atari should have been a neon yellow and black camo.

lastly i think anything with a ceramic white color is made for mac users so therefore i believe Ceramic white, is the color of death.

sorry, bit off topic thare

The GBA is best to be as purple(same color as the default gamecube)

GBC, i liked the green color(which was my second one), and my first gbc was yellow though, guess because the first gbc game i bought was Pokemon Yellow LOL!

I say black for everything personally. Because it will look like part of a group when you set it with all the other stuff around your home.
But i have to say my

Xbox is transparent green.
Xbox 360 is transparent blue
PS2 is modded blue
Game Cube is magenta
PSP white , Orange , and to be soon metallic
NDS Lite white
All mi other councils are there original release color.:D

The Sega Genesis' sexy black was the best colour scheme for any console IMO.

Black is designed more towards adults, while i find White is used more for a wider demographic including young children, Pink for women (no im not sexist just ask your gf if she could get it in pink if she would)
in my opinion Green is the worst possible colour for a console, next to purple

i painted my dreamcast black ;)

consoles i like black and handhelds i like them to be whatever the owner comes up with to make it stand out and be theirs.

I personally believe that no single color is perfect for every console system. Considering that everybody has different tastes and will have different games for their consoles, I believe that allowing people to choose among various colors for each system would make the system itself even more appealing.

Although, for the sake of this forum thread, I have always been partial to dark blue and purple for handheld systems and black for console systems.

Black or Silver

Although white may be trendy, it is way to boring and plain.

Is this some kind of coded news because i dont get it, unless it in relation to that ad/news about new faceplate things. Makeing consols look individual dont work for me, and you take away the communist-esqe feel about how yours looks like everyone else's.

Black is pretty generic as of colour...

I'd say any color as long as it matches your living room or it surroundings.

Transparent color is very lame and geeky IMHO.

i really don'tlike my consoles to have much color

white
black
gray (not silver)

those colors fit best with any console

my doctor tells me that a clear wii is best. Black or white are just wrong.

however, i am expecting a white wii in the next few months. But will have to see them in a shop first before i finally decide.

(white would be similar to the nes and snes which it will obviously be able to play).

I actually have the fliptop mod for ps2 that makes it glosy like the PSP.

I like black consoles.
I also like silver but someone needs to invent a silver that doesn't scratch off.Previous Gameboy Sp and,current orignal DS owners know my pain.
