 TRS-80 Color Computer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Color Computer was a radical departure from the Z80-based TRS-80 Models I/II/III/4/4p with its Motorola MC6809E processor.
The original version of the Color Computer shipped in a large silver-gray case with a calculator-like "chiclet keyboard," and was available with a memory sizes of 4K (26-3001), 16K (26-3002), or 32K (26-3003).
This new model of the Color Computer line was meant to better compete with the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST systems.

 Home computer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
TRS-80 Color Computer II The home computer is a consumer-friendly word for the second generation of microcomputers (the technical term that was previously used), entering the market in 1977 and becoming common during the 1980s.
Home computers were mostly based on 8-bit microprocessor technology, typically the MOS Technology 6502 or the Zilog Z80.
A plethora of home computers came out during this period, but most failed to have a significant impact on the market or the history of home computing and as such are not mentioned (this includes machines not sold/known outside its home market).

 TRS-80 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The actual color of the system was light bluish (the standard "P4" phosphor used in black-and white televisions), and green and amber filters or replacement tubes, to make the display easier on the eyes, were a common after market item.
This short-lived and little-known Tandy computer was similar in appearance to the Sinclair ZX81.
Company management was unsure of the computer's market appeal, and intentionally kept the initial production run to 3,000 units so that, if the computer failed to sell, it could at least be used for accounting purposes within the chain's 3,000 stores.

 Radio Shack TRS-80 MC-10 computer
The TRS-80 MC-10 (MC=Micro Color) is a scaled-down version of the original TRS-80 Color Computer computer from 1980.
The reason for this is apparently because cheap, simple computers seem to be popular, and the MC-10 has a few things going for it which most of the Sinclairs lacked - a better keyboard, and a color display.
Another inexpensive color system, the Mattel Aquarius computer from the same year, sold very poorly as well.
