I think orange would look best there, even though said color wasn't listed as an option. Outside of that, I would go with blue.
Got a tip for us?

That mockup was cool. Internet Enzyme for the win.
One thing to keep in mind is that even Apple's online colors may not match how you perceive these colors in person. For example, the lighter of the blue and green colors resembles the iPad Air colors that many in person found much more subtle than expected. It's very possible that the in-person light shades will only suggest the color and may even appear silver-grey (or close to that) when viewed just from the front.
I still like yellow, for your room, though. It's a color pop, but it also brings out some of the warmth of your hardwood floor.
That’s a really lovely room! Honestly, any of the colors would look beautiful. Yellow would be best if you want to go bold, but if you’re looking for something more serene, I think green would be good.
I think that you should wait until you see them in person to purchase: then you can see exactly how they look in real lighting conditions.
Anything but silver. It’s been years since any colors were available on iMac, so take advantage!
Silver/neutral of course. Bold colors are always a mistake. You'll be sick of it within a week.
I got it to work. Safari was just hanging on my phone, is all.
And I am glad I did. I was excited for the blue or purple, but they would probably look terrible where I would be working.
Another consideration is what colors work best with you. Someone sitting and looking at both you and the iMac should see something complementary. Orange colored clothes make me look dead so that would be a bad color for me. I look better in blues and reds. I think red would go well with the books behind you. Blue would be like the classic blazer and go with everything.
Yeah, I said Orange as well. However, given how many people has suggested yellow, and after the photosh... I mean the Pixelmator work with the yellow one, I wouldn’t rule out yellow. Actually, I like it!
Actually, that yellow is pretty close to the Orange, and honestly, I think he will be tired of the orange much sooner than the yellow one.
Orange. Nice pop. A fruit to go with the plants. Picks up on the reddish books. Keeps it a bit warmer than the yellow. But like others said, any of the colors will work since the rest if the room is so sedate. Choose the one you want to look at all the time, and gives the most joy.
I would suggest a beautiful and colourful picture, in the form of skin, to the back of your iMac.
How to: (In Ho Chi Minh City, VN)
- Obtain the file of the picture I like (a photo of my kids is also good enough)
- Take it to the print shop and ask them to to print it to skin materials.
- Then take it to a skin shop together with the iMac, let them do the job.
The whole process won't cost me more than 40$.

If you haven’t gotten bored of silver in the so many years that that’s all there’s been, you probably won’t get bored of another color would you?
And when you upgrade your iPhone every year, just remember to also upgrade your iMac to continue matching the new iPhone colors, and pay more to Apple!!
Oh wait, Apple neglects the Mac lineup so there isn't a new iMac every year (at least in the past few years before Apple Silicon)!!
I’d go with orange as well. Definitely not silver, too dull.
Green or red fits best, not silver. You want it to be bold yet compliment its surroundings.
This thread has made me question my color choices. I was thinking maybe orange, blue or green. But using the AR tool I have been changing my mind toward the yellow based on my decor. I also am starting to think the yellow chin is the doesn't come off as pastel as the other colors. Silver would be the safe choice, but for once I want something different. I really coveted an orange G3 iMac back in the day, but couldn't afford one at the time and was still a PC user.
Am I the only person who thinks Green would be an awesome color for the room?
The green is gorgeous and I’d insta-buy an iPhone with that shade of green or teal. However, for that room I’d personally chose a warmer, more vivid color, like orange or yellow. But if OP likes that green, sure, it’s gorgeous.
All of the options are ugly, but the silver is tolerable.
