Why Did Our Intercoms Change Color?

Did you know that at the very beginning, Clear-Com’s main stations were actually black? We had designed them that way to blend in with the dark environment of the stage. In the 1970s, we decided to change the color of our main stations to dark brown because it was the trendy color of that era. Further, we didn’t want to make too big of a leap from the original black color so we figured that brown was close enough to black. Later, our executive team decided that the dark brown looked too old fashion and they wanted our intercoms to look contemporary and modern so light brown was the color adopted for the main stations instead. Through a discussion of several product managers, the systems finally made a transition to the color blue, which is the current color of our Clear-Com intercom systems today.
