Apple’s upcoming 2026 iMac will be available in a refreshed selection of colors, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

In today’s “Power On” newsletter, Gurman said that the next iMac will feature a new selection of colors. This could be the first true refresh of the device’s color options in five years.

Design background

The iMac redesign introduced in 2021 uses a distinctive two‑tone color design:

• Rear enclosure and stand – a bold, saturated version of the chosen color.
• Front chin (below the display) – a much lighter, pastel version of the same color to reduce distraction while using the screen.
• Display bezel – remains white on all models.

Historical color lineup

• The M1 iMac was offered in seven colors: Blue, Green, Pink, Yellow, Orange, Purple, and Silver.
• Those colors were unchanged with the M3 version released in 2023.

2024 refresh

In 2024 Apple tweaked the tones slightly while keeping the same overall palette:

• More saturated blue
• Brighter green
• More vivid pink
• Warmer yellow
• Richer orange
• Darker purple

Expected 2026 release

Gurman believes the new iMac will arrive after refreshed Mac Studio models, which are expected around the middle of 2026.
