On this page I aim to document as precisely as I can the colors used on a selection of video game consoles. To insure accuracy:
- The color must be identified using a physical color deck (and never a computer screen!) of a standard color matching system such as RAL or Pantone.
- Identification is performed under daylight.

Note: I found the grays very difficult to match. The pantone colors I give seem very close, but I am not entirely satisfied and therefore label them as
close matches.
