My first car was terracotta with turquoise waves down the sides, but mostly what I cared about was that it had four wheels and an engine and actually moved ;-)
I agree that, where possible, things should be beautiful as well as functional, though, just that there are a lot more ways to be beautiful (and I am now reminded of William Morris's 'Have nothing in your homes that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful' and thinking how fabulous a Strawberry Thief laptop would be).
