Psychicmodulation, was there any particular inspiration for your choice of colorway? It reminds me of '20's illustrations.

The inspiration comes from vintage electronic devices. It's based on what I imagine a synthesizer used in these video logos would look like today. An obscure device from the late 70s or early 80s, minimalist in design, slightly yellowed with age.
Was it white plastic that turned yellow? All our devices I remember from the 70s were made of wood, metal, and black plasticMaybe it was the Grundig style, we had only Grundig stuff
Our living room's tape machine:
And our radio:
A lot of white plastic items from that period seem to have taken on a yellowish tone over time. Or maybe that was a popular color of the time. Like olive green. Anyhow I have a vintage touch tone telephone that I based the color on.
