How Microsoft Accidently Chose Green Branding For Xbox

Xbox co-creator Seamus Blackley revealed that Xbox's iconic green color branding was chosen accidently.

"A guy called Horace Luke, when we had to have a logo for a meeting or something, he had one of those awesome sets of markers with the paint tips, and so everybody immediately stole all of them," explained Blackley. "The only color he had left was like the green nobody wanted, and so we made all this artist stuff with green and now it's like still green. And I find that bizarre. I mean, can you imagine? It's like Horace and the green marker and now, you know, on buses in foreign countries. What? That's crazy!"
