Interesting choice of colours. I suspect they look better together than individually.
They're certainly not for pro video or photography, where a coloured frame is the last thing you want. Which suggests they're aimed deliberately at the school, home, and hipster office markets.
Add me to this list of those waiting for an M1X iMac Pro with at least 64GB and no-compromise screen. And a black bezel.
So does this mean the M1X is delayed? Or this is Apple's tick/tock?

1. A silver colored M1 iMac is part of the lineup, which is a neutral color.
2. A Mac with a 4.5K Retina display, Wide color P3, True Tone and support for their 6K pro display clearly isn't exclusively targeted at school, home and hipster office markets.
3. Apple will announce build-to-order configurations where you can get 16 GB of RAM as we get closer to April 30.
So does this mean the M1X is delayed?
How can something that's unannounced be delayed? Apple hasn't announced a timeline for future M-series processors. WWDC in June is the next logical time such an announcement could be made.
Having said that, an M1X processor would make sense for the Apple Silicon versions of the iMac Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro.

This is the benefit of Apple's policy of only announcing products when they're ready. It prevents bad publicity if there's a delay and also prevents people waiting to buy the upcoming product and waiting and not buying available ones.
There was a great interview with the iMac product manager Colleen Novielli on the Upgrade Podcast in 2019, where she talked about the tremendous number of iMacs used in a business setting because of their look compared to a black plastic Dell monitors. Think reception desks, salons, hotels, etc.
These colors will stand out in a way that really nothing has since the original iMac G3.
