S.C.G Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 While searching for evidence of the original N64's colour my attention was diverted by this awesome case mod that I figured I should share... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diageo Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 So I guess the other one is dark gray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekunando Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) ..you can call it black all you want you blind fools, it's clearly a very dark grey! I'm with the Fiercest of all the Links on this one.. Just go and look at the N64! The Nintendo 64 logo on the front is surrounded by black above the wee red light.. then look at the rest of the N64! It is as clear as day (and I mean a very clear day, no clouds in the sky.. no nothin ) It's dark grey! As for the overall topic.. I loved the N64 console and controller design (and then loved all the see-through colours that were released.. the aqua/white combination is class ) The original PS1 has a nice, classic feel about it and I like the PSOne (which I own) ..I also own the nice Dreamcast and Wii (of course) ..and the Black Gamecube was nice, even with the handle SNES was good too before it would go yellow (though mine isn't too bad) ..but the original XBOX, PS2 and PS3 consoles all look really bad to me! The large silver and metallic blue (aqua.. even though I wouldn't really call it 'aqua') PS2s were cool, as is the little silver Slimline!

Retro_Link Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 ^ N64 = Matt black and Gloss black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 What's that I hear? Is that...the sound of the tide turning?! Edit: Nando, I bluddy told you they'd play the matt/gloss card! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Just thought I'd add another quote I found... 'The standard Nintendo 64 comes in a dark grey color, often perceived as "black". Officially, it was known as "Charcoal Grey".' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triforcemario Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 The standard Nintendo 64 is dark gray, nearly black, and the controller is light gray.According to the great and almighty Wikipedia, the N64 is Dark Grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 According to the great and almighty Wikipedia, the N64 is Dark Grey. Yes but, click the number '39' that is next to that quote and then the site it got it from, then search for the word 'charcoal' on that page and you will get the quote that I just found.

On the other side, Sauron, Saruman, and the forces of Mordor. In the middle, S.C.G. waving his Charcoal Grey flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Captain Falcon Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Nah surely he'd have to be Gandalf the GREY! But he was Gandalf the White by the end. Saruman had no colour - a bit like them guys and their mythical "dark grey". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nekunando Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 The grey isn't quite dark enough (though it was colour picked from the darkest part of the N64 I could find ) and I know which colour is closer to representing the console : peace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I think the thread title should be changed, since the majority are saying it's grey now. Also, it's pretty obvious that Falcon is Sauron, and Retro is Saruman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
