it's actually because everyone smoked cigarettes 🚬 everywhere -- home, office, etc. and if the computers and tech were beige, it hid the nicotine stains. the more you know 🌈

the beige was because everyone was a smoker, smoke free spaces werent phased out until the late 90s/early aughts

That type of off white plastic breaks down with time and sunlight. They looked like cigarette stains by the late 90s because they got super beige or brown with age. It was a very inferior form of injection plastic.

beige was used to get a jump-start on the inevitable nicotine stains

I hope we get a resurgence of that 90s aesthetic with transparent and translucent tech cases.

As someone who was alive in the 80s… Like fully old enough to have a memory… There was a tremendous amount of neon and geometric design patterns.

It wasn't that much beige. The TV was brown with wood panels, the telephone was green, the stereo was black and so was the radio and casette player. That was what we had in our home.

millennial grey came from people who were tired of their parents' kooky counterculture colors. every piece of counterculture eventually becomes the norm for another counter to come along. a pendulum
