Bondi Blue is the name of the
original color of
Apple's
iMac computer line. Other colors have since been added, such as
Tangerine,
Blueberry,
Key Lime,
Ruby,
Sage, etc. It is the very popular line that started the
iBook / iMac trend of "
colored computing". This color blue is one of the revitalizing factors of
Apple Computer, amazingly enough.
The orignal iMacs (including the Bondi colored one) were based on
Powerbook-like parts, and thus suffered the numerous
problems that that line did. The
look and feel of this color and its successors transferred to many of the
applications produced on the
Macintosh.
The color named Bondi blue is probably based on
Bondi Beach in
Sydney,
Australia.
