alt Hacker NewsThe colors look beautiful on the car. Hopefully a Ternus-lead Apple will find the courage to adorn the Macbook Pro line with six colors.
I would bet there's so much pent up demand for properly colored macbooks. What's the argument against it – SKU explosion?

Is there?
I walked past a parking lot yesterday and everything was in black, white and silver.
When I bought my house the agent turned up her nose about the wood furnishings instead of "millennial white".
The resale value of macs is one of their selling points, just like cars. Generic colours win. I contend there is no pent up demand.

Apple is the best (not perfect!) when it comes to product marketing in the sense of delivering products the market wants. So there is surely a market reason why the iPhone Pro line went highly saturated (and black was conspicuously removed!) while the MacBooks Pro have remained monochrome.
I’m guessing it’s as simple as business users not wanting to flip up a bright orange or deep red lid at a meeting.
