Case and keyboard colours
I was just thinking about some refurbishing tasks for my amiga and I realised that it would be useful to know what the official/correct colours for the cases and the two tones of keycaps for A500 and A1200 actually are (or the other amigas for that matter). Either pantone of CMYK colourspaces would be useful. Sorry if this has been asked before.
Is this information written down somewhere? |

I believe there is no record of the official colour since even during Commodore years the machines produced had slightly varying colours depending on the manufacturing facility, the batch/revision and other factors. In general the 500 is more beige and the 1200 more white.
You could colour match an original case against a today's colouring system but I doubt after 35 years any Amiga (no matter how well preserved is) will retain it's original colour intact. |

I remain moderately surprised that there isn't a specified target palette even if manufacturing in the 80s wasn't as standardised as it is today. |
