The current color of the Switch is grey and it's kind of boring, and only the joycons change colors. But what if this time all the console have a new color? like all Nintendo portables back then.

What color would you like to see?

Lately I've been in love with Teals and Cyans. Get that integrated somehow and I'm in.

If not, blacks and blues are my standard. My SO would definitely want purple.

I think the Pro version will look very similar to what we have now. The only customization will be via joy con.

But if the cheaper model is a single unit with non-detachable controllers, then things can get interesting. I feel like it'll launch in black, white, and red variants (the primary Switch motif colors), but I'd love some translucency.

Nintendo is smart and knows how much money there is to be made with the joycon sales. They won't phase those out.. it's possible the base unit may have a color, but I think it will be mooted or at least meant to be very complimentary to the colors that exist already.

I could see a handheld only unit coming in a variety of colors at some point, but I don't think they'll want to overload the new SKUs until they phase out the old model. A pink in the vein of the 3DS colors above would be a nice way to start.

I think a black/gray would be right for the VR headset but if I ever pick up a Mini, I think I'd like a clean all-white or maybe something in blue and black

I like special edition kind of stuff - had the red Pokemon XY 3DS and I'd love a Pokemon SwSh themed Switch Pro (maybe also red).

All black so it doesn't look like Fisher Price made it

Wow, people still doing the "Fisher Price" thing in 2019, huh? Amazing.

Though (matte) black like the existing development kits would be a nice look for a more expensive model, I'd be even happier with something a little more inspired. I know the chances for it are just about nil, but I'd love a nontraditional material for the "pro" model, something like a brushed aluminum. The muted color schemes on the original DS XL were also pretty cool and made sense for the older audience -- on the flip side, Nintendo could embrace the younger crowd with the portable-focused model and go all out with different translucent colors, like the N64. Would hate to see them completely ditch neons, though, as they've really been a defining factor in the Switch's look.

I just want matte black or dark grey. I don't think the bold colors are appealing. Please, Nintendo, don't make this shit glossy.

It's gotta be transparent purple. Its been far too long!

I've got custom transparent purple joy-cons and they look amazing!

I'm honestly really partial to dark red colors (e.g. burgundy) but I would also be fine with a black or orange Switch.

Well I would say that typically Nintendo is great at making its iteration desirable and look nice.

If my decision were based on colors I previously owned, I'd have to go with the OG GBA Glacier White.
