Mac OS 8 (1997) introduced the Platinum appearance along with the Desktop Pictures control panel, which for the first time let a full photograph — not just a tiled pattern — fill the desktop. There was still no picker for a plain background color, so solid backgrounds shipped as pictures: a set of iconic solid-color wallpapers, including the default soft lavender-blue. These are their colors — quiet, desaturated greens, browns, and roses that sat comfortably behind Platinum's calm gray chrome.
