The '''Macintosh Color Classic''' (sold as the '''Macintosh Colour Classic''' in PAL regions) is a [[personal computer]] designed, manufactured and sold by [[Apple Inc.|Apple Computer, Inc.]] from February 1993 to May 1995 (up to January 1998 in PAL markets).  It has an [[All-in-one PC|all-in-one]] design, with a small, integrated 10″ [[Sony]] [[Trinitron]] display at 512 × 384 pixel resolution. The display is capable of supporting up to thousands of colors with a video memory upgrade.

A slightly updated model, the '''Color Classic II''', featuring the [[Macintosh LC 550]] [[Motherboard|logic board]] with a 33&nbsp;MHz processor, was released in Japan, Canada and some international markets in 1993, sometimes as the [[Macintosh Performa|Performa]] 275.

The Color Classic is the final model of the original [[Compact Macintosh|"compact"]] family of [[Mac (computer)|Macintosh]] computers, and was replaced by the larger-display [[Macintosh LC 500 series]] and [[Power Macintosh 5200 LC]].
