- MacOS offers a range of standard system colors that automatically adapt to vibrancy (see Translucency and Vibrancy) and changes in accessibility settings like Increase contrast and Reduce transparency. Use these colors when choosing app tint colors that look great individually and in combination, on both light and dark backgrounds.

The Macintosh Color Classic (sold as the Macintosh Colour Classic in PAL regions and Macintosh Color Deluxe in Japan) is a personal computer designed, manufactured and sold by Apple Computer, Inc. from February 1993 to May 1995 (up to January 1998 in PAL markets). It has a 'all-in-one PC' design, with a small, integrated 10″ SonyTrinitron display (supporting up to thousands of colors with a video memory upgrade) at 512 × 384 pixel resolution.
The Color Classic is the final model of the original 'compact' family of Macintosh computers, and was replaced by the larger-display Macintosh LC 500 series and Power Macintosh 5200 LC.
Beside iMac does not support Adobe RGB, it is quite shaming that Mac OS does not have any features to emulate other color space. Having external monitors would be a solution but it is very disappointing that Mac does not support Adobe RGB or only 73% of Adobe RGB and not able to emulate sRGB.
Hardware[edit]
The Color Classic has a Motorola 68030 CPU running at 16 MHz and has a logic board similar to the Macintosh LC II.[2]
Like the Macintosh SE and SE/30 before it, the Color Classic has a single expansion slot: an LC-type Processor Direct Slot (PDS), incompatible with the SE slots. This was primarily intended for the Apple IIe Card (the primary reason for the Color Classic's switchable 560 × 384 display, essentially quadruple the IIe's 280 × 192 High-Resolution graphics), which was offered with education models of the LCs. The card allowed the LCs to emulate an Apple IIe. The combination of the low-cost color Macintosh and Apple IIe compatibility was intended to encourage the education market's transition from Apple II models to Macintoshes. Other cards, such as CPU accelerators, Ethernet and video cards were also made available for the Color Classic's Processor Direct Slot.
The Color Classic shipped with the Apple Keyboard known as an Apple Keyboard II (M0487) which featured a soft power switch on the keyboard itself. The mouse supplied was the Apple Mouse known as the Apple Desktop Bus Mouse II (M2706).
A slightly updated model, the Color Classic II, featuring the Macintosh LC 550logicboard with a 33 MHz processor, was released in Japan, Canada and some international markets in 1993, sometimes as the Performa 275. Both versions of the Color Classic have 256 KB of onboard VRAM, expandable to 512 KB by plugging a 256 KB VRAM SIMM into the onboard 68-pin VRAM slot.[3]
The name 'Color Classic' was not printed directly on the front panel, but on a separate plastic insert. This enabled the alternative spelling 'Colour Classic' and 'Colour Classic II' to be used in appropriate markets.

Upgrades[edit]
Some Color Classic users upgraded their machines with motherboards from Performa/LC 575 units ('Mystic' upgrade),[4] while others have put entire Performa/LC/Quadra 630 or successor innards into them ('Takky' upgrade).[5] Based on Takky there is a way to upgrade the Color Classic with a G3 CPU.[6] Another common modification to this unit was to change the display to allow 640 × 480 resolution,[7] which was a common requirement for many programs (especially games) to run.

Find the value of a color: Move the pointer over the pixels whose values you want to see. The color under the pointer is displayed in the Digital Color Meter window, with its color values on the right.
To change the format of the displayed color values for RGB-based color spaces, choose View > Display Values.
Adjust the size of the aperture: Drag the Aperture Size slider. Make the aperture smaller to select a small area or a single pixel. If more than one pixel is within the aperture, the color values of all pixels are averaged.
Choose a different color space: Click the pop-up menu, then choose a color space. The values shown are specific to the color space you choose.
Lock the aperture’s location: Do one of the following:
Lock the aperture horizontally: Press Command-X.
Lock the aperture vertically: Press Command-Y.
Lock the aperture in both directions: Press Command-L.
Locking the aperture makes it easier to copy the pixel’s color value. When the aperture is locked both horizontally and vertically, it doesn’t move as you move the pointer.
Copy the color value: Do one of the following:
Copy the color value as text: Choose Color > Copy Color as Text, or press Shift-Command-C.
Copy the color value as an image: Choose Color > Copy Color as Image, or press Option-Command-C.
