We all associate the color blue with the PlayStation brand, right?

Yeah since the PS4 or maybe the PS3 Slim onwards.
PS3 first half messed with red but then with the Slim relaunch they went back to Blue. PS2 was blue and PS1 was just the multi colored logo and grey/black.

PS1 also had a lot of blue in the system menus for memory cards and the CD Player.
PS2 was blue on boxes, menus, etc
and on and on
Xbox is green, duh.
Nintendo has always been red. Always. Even with that goddamned Virtual Boy.
SEGA was always black, which is why the grey and white Saturn colors were nice, but the black is still the main one. DC being white unless you got a SEGA Sports DC was an odd one. (alternatively, SEGA is white given a lot of the game packaging and then eventually the DC).
I mean, this is how I have the damned ethernet colors coded.

not as strongly as nintendo with red or xbox with green. the other two stayed pretty constant over the years but it feels like they downplayed the blue for the PS4 and i don't remember it really being part of the PS3 at all
but put the three colors together and i'd understand what it meant

Playstation is blue, Xbox is green and Nintendo is red, yeah.
Only after the PS1, though. Sega was the blue console company before they stopped doing hardware.

Not to the same extent Xbox is associated with green, no.
Nintendo used to use blue a lot, and Sony used to use red a lot, so they kinda keep flip-flopping.

They've got it in multiple colors except, I want to say, blue or green? At least I can't remember offhand seeing it in those colors. There's nothing gradient on it at all, it's a simple vector, so they can make it literally any color they want. Same with Sony and (at least recently) Xbox.Nintendo had a silver logo though I swear?
I think Sony's been less consistent with their color branding over the years, to the point where I know I was technically "breaking" the brand standard using blue for fan-made stuff at some points. I definitely associate them with blue, but I don't think it's as universal as Xbox or Nintendo.
In the US at least, we've had big stretches with branding leaning into primarily grey for PS1, red for later PS2, silver/black for PS3, and white/black for PS5.

Yes, but not as consistently as the other two.
Maybe it's just me, but for the Wii/360/PS3 generation, I almost associate the PS3 with red, and the Wii with blue. I guess it's that damn blue light on the Wii haha.

Yeah, PS5 era is definitely white and black. They still use blue for some things though.
In my game catelogue I colour code Playstation section with Blue, within that PS1 is Grey, PS2 is Black, PS3 is Silver, PS4 is Dark Blue, PS5 is White
PS Studios specifically is white and black in the PS5 era.
PlayStation as a wider brand is definitely still blue though ("Play Has No Limits" screens are blue, the little PS logo at the start of trailers is blue, PS-licensed hardware boxes are always blue-accented...)
Not really, sega is the blue one and always have been. Playstation doesnt really have 1 color. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipe...our.svg/800px-Playstation_logo_colour.svg.png
