Hi all, just wondering if anyone else feels the need to match their Apple products?

I personally like to match them but am trying to break that habit.

Also feel free to post your matching or non matching ecosystem.

I used to be a space gray everything person but with time, I've preferred lighter colors on my iPhone and Apple Watch. Also I was disappointed by the lack of hue consistency within Apple products, so even if the color had the same name, it was never really the same. Mac and iPad are still space gray, but my iPhone is gold and my Apple Watch is silver.

I don’t care if they match.. i’m more concerned about performance than I am the paint job.

I’ve definitely noticed the difference in hue especially with space grey.

I’ve also noticed that a lot of blue, purple, etc. products don’t actually have same shade as well.

Yes, I'm boring and have both black iPhone and Watch. Oh and my custom iPod is all black too.

My AirPods Max and MacBook Air are both space grey.

That would be somewhat difficult. I have a range of Macs circa 2000 to 2011. I do not own an Apple Watch and my only other Apple products are iPhones and iPads.

Instead, I match my iPhones to my shirt color, my pants color and my boots color. Those are all black, the color I wear most.

Still it's rather difficult as it's hard to match Space Gray to black. Gray is a shade of black, but it's not black. So far, only my iPhone 5 has come close to black.
