It will have to be silver for me, my office has very neutral/grey tones, none of the pastel colours would look right.
 
If the colours on the back, continued across to the front the red, yellow or orange would be a proper statement.

Since they're not, most likely silver. But with the white bezel and pastel chin, I'm looking at a Mac Mini instead.

Orange but only if it was all like the back, not that watered down garbage that it is, black bezels too obviously.
 
I'm not in the market for a small iMac but would prefer silver with black trimmings and front logo.

After looking hard at the blue offering , I have since snapped out of it back to earth. I would hate any of the colours after a week of usage, also none of the colours suit my desktop set up after using the LiDar/AR camera on the iPad Pro. Not pleasing to the eye to say the least.
 
I was looking for red in the list of options, didn’t realize it was actually called pink.

I really like the stronger bold look of the colours on the rear of the iMacs. The pastel type of finish on the front & stand not so much.

Would have loved an actual product red iMac.
 
Voted Silver. If silver wasn't available, blue. I don't like pastels though. Porsche Miami Blue, Audi's Catalunya Red and Volkswagen's Dark Moss Green Wagon are some of my favorite current car colors. None of them are 'pastel' or faded. so while I love color, these colors don't do it for me.
 
Wow, didn't expect so much support for Blue (it is my choice too). Guess that's because it's not too in the face like other colours.. I do like the green too but am afraid I might regret after buying it.
 
I’m a current owner of a base-model late 2014 5K iMac (quad-core 3.5 GHz, 16 GB RAM). I’m strongly considering replacing it with a blue 24" iMac.

I did find myself liking the green way more than I expected, and I’m also a big fan of the purple, but they’re harder to match with.

I think the blue and orange look amazing from the back and sides, but less good than the silver from the front. So silver it would be.
 
I would get the silver if I had a use for an iMac, the other colours in my opinion are hideous.

While I understand everyone has a different opinion, describing the other colors as "hideous" is pretty extreme, even as far as opinions go. I think a lot of it has to do with what the rest of the room looks like you're going to have the iMac in. But the colors in and of themselves are fairly subdued - nothing crazy.
