I don't think the Apple "Snow White design language" products like the IIgs look like generic beige boxes (those were the uninspired IBM products which cared little about looks that were beige), but it is interesting how white has fallen out of favor as a computer color to be replaced by unpainted aluminum or black. The black craze was probably inspired by the NeXT cube which was the epitome of cool in the late 80s-early 90s.
