Hopefully, theyll be better colors than the awful washed-out, not-even-pastels of the current iPad Air.

In fact, lets take a look at the best and worst Apple color schemes in history.

Even the laterSnow Whitecolor scheme was pretty much just light beige.

Just look at it.

Except they dont really look like flowers.

The original came in translucent turquoise, but other colors followed, including this beautiful tangerine number.

Its also notable for being so big.

Its swooping sides and extraneous curves were the computer equivalent of tail fins on a ’50s car.

The iPod Mini

The little iPod Mini was a smash hit.

At the time, it was themost popular gadget in the world.

Coming after the iconic all-white iPod, the Mini was a real change.

It was also cute and tiny.

Yet despite its 4GB hard drive, itoutsold the regular-sized iPod.

iPod Nano

The fourth-generation iPod nano came in a crazy range of glossy candy colors.

It arrived after the dull “fat” nano, and was advertised with splashes of paint.

Id buy an iMac in any of these hues.

This is the only good year for iPhone colors, in my opinion.

Frankly, Id rather have a beige iPad than any of these uninspiring hues.

The space gray and silver models are fine, but that pink and that green are just dull.

And its not just Apple, either.

These cool-toned, noncommittal shades have been everywhere for the past few years, from kitchen items to clothing.

Not only is Apple using its worst colors ever, its using the same lame colors as everyone else.

The problem with colors, though, is that everyone has different tastes.
