Windows 3.0 (1990) was the version that turned Windows into a genuine commercial success, pairing the Program Manager shell with a redesigned, VGA-capable interface. Its Control Panel Color applet shipped a range of named schemes — from the restrained Designer and Pastel to the loud Fluorescent — each recoloring the desktop and window chrome, on top of a custom palette you could mix your own shade from. The light gray of the default scheme set a tone Windows would keep for years.
