RUMOR: Macbook may come in colors

What do you do when you've exhausted your idea of brightly-colored computers (hint: "Flower Power" was a sure indication of this)? Go with all white. What happens when you've tired of white? Why, go back to colors, of course. AppleInsider is reporting that the forthcoming Macbooks will be available in white and two other colors (at least initially). Black could certainly be an option, considering the iPod line, but what about color number three? What would you likely buy? Take out poll, and come back tomorrow for the results.

I personally would want a black aluminum case. I don't know exactly how feasible this idea is, but I think that would look absolutely sexy. But that does depend on whether they're gonna stay with the plastic cases that they've been using or switch over to the aluminum cases. I would put my money on staying with the plastic ones, in which case, I wouldn't necessarily put black at the top of the list. If they retained the plastic cases I'd like them to have at least the option of being that pearly white, or, for the humor option, lime green.

Clear would be very cool.

Or orange since I live in Holland.

Really, ANYTHING except IBM or Dell colors!

I saw no Lime Green option!

(Jonathan Ive's favorite color, according to Mr Jobs' Paris 2000 keynote where the final rev of the old clamshell iBook was unveiled.)

It really all depends if the new MacBook 13.3" has a plastic or aluminum case.

I think an anodized aluminum case, aka, the iPod mini series, would look very very cool in color. But plastic? Maybe with a bit of translucency here and there it would work. Fruity colors really belong in late 90s history books though.

But I don't understand why all of you want black MacBooks. Wouldn't they just be a dead ringer for a Dell?

Black? Seriously?
I thought we were through with black Laptops... that's so 1996, even if it is glossy.
I love the black iPod, but a black MacBook is like a design step backwards.
What are you thinking people?!?!?
Ferarri Red for me!

I might be willing to buy a black MacBook if it was a matte finish.

If there is a third color, my bet it will be for institutional accounts only. E.G.. University of Tennessee Orange. Alabama Crimson and so on.

This will help deter theft of school property, and might help sales of the old units to the students that were using them.

Dude, where's the Resse Witherspoon Orange? I thought that was the best looking Clamshell color! Green is my second choice.
