Do Copiers Come in Different Colors? (And Does It Matter?)

What You’ll Learn

• What to focus on when choosing your next copier

You’re Not Buying a Showpiece—You’re Buying a Workhorse

If you’re shopping for a new copier, you’ve probably seen a few different models and asked yourself, “Why do some look different than others? Do copiers even come in different colors?” The short answer is: yes, but the real question is—should you care?

At Pahoda Copiers & Printers, we’ve helped thousands of businesses across the country choose the right copier for their needs. And while color sometimes comes up in conversation, we always bring the focus back to what truly matters: performance, reliability, and features.

Which Brands Come in Which Colors?

Most copier brands have a signature look. Here’s a quick breakdown:

• Canon – Usually white with gray accents
• Xerox – Known for white with blue panels
• HP – Often gray and charcoal, though some models come in a wider range of tones
• Konica Minolta – Typically black or very dark gray
• Ricoh – Mostly white, with minimal accenting

So yes—there is some variation. But these colors are still very neutral and professional. You won’t find bright red, pink, or pastel copiers out there. Manufacturers stick to muted tones that fit well in offices, schools, and corporate environments.

Does Color Matter?

For most people, not really.

Choosing a copier based on color is like choosing a car based on the paint job—it might be nice, but it shouldn’t be the main reason you buy it. You want a copier that meets your needs: prints fast, handles your paper sizes, integrates with your software, and fits your budget.

However, there are a few exceptions:

• Interior designers or aesthetic-driven businesses might prefer a copier that blends into their space.
• Occasionally, if two models are equally matched in features and pricing, a customer might use color as a tie-breaker.

But in the vast majority of cases, the conversation quickly shifts from “What color is it?” to “Can it scan to email? How fast does it print? What’s the maintenance plan?”

Focus on the Right Fit—Not the Right Shade

When it comes to copiers, we recommend focusing on:

• Print speed and volume
• Color vs. black-and-white capability
• Finishing options (like stapling or booklet-making)
• Scan and cloud features
• Service and support availability
• Toner cost and yield

These are the factors that impact your day-to-day workflow, not the color of the shell.

That said—if the copier’s appearance is important to your workspace or brand experience, let us know. We’ll always do our best to help you find a model that works well and looks the part.
