Silver, Blush, Citrus, and Indigo — those are the four colors that Apple’s brand new affordable laptop, the MacBook Neo, now comes in.
And according to a report from Bloomberg‘s Apple insider Mark Gurman, Apple may also be looking into bringing a new color palette to the iMac. Gurman says that Apple plans on launching a new iMac later this year.
Apple first upgraded the iMac to its Silicon chipset in 2021 with the M1 iMacs. The company then skipped the M2 chips altogether in the iMac, and the desktop went without an upgrade in 2022. Apple then released the M3 iMac in 2024.
Apple last upgraded its popular desktop line of computers in 2024 with the release of the iMacs with the M4 chip.
The current M4 iMac lineup is currently available in seven different colors: Green, Yellow, Orange, Pink, Purple, Blue, and Silver.

According to Gurman, Apple is looking at a “refreshed color palette” for the iMac, which was historically known for its signature aquamarine blue.
As you can see, the current iMacs offerings come in the classic base colors, whereas Apple has opted to offer specific color shades with the MacBook Neo line. It’s unclear, though, if Apple is looking to offer the exact same Neo color options for iMac as well.
Not much is known about the iMac refresh quite yet. It is more than likely that the new iMac will come with Apple’s new M5 chipset.
Color options aside, it will be interesting to see where Apple goes in regards to pricing for the new iMacs. The all-in-one display and computer has traditionally targeted a more affordable price point. Apple raised its M5 MacBook Pro prices across the board when it launched the devices last week. The current base iMac retails for $1,299.
