The Apple ][ supported color from day 1, although the earliest revisions
of the logic board (before the ][+) only supported four colors [*] in
high-resolution mode, vs. six colors [*] on later boards. The color
support, combined with the open architecture and not-too-ridiculous
price are largely credited with Apple's amazing success in the early
days.

[*] In this context, black and white are considered to be colors.
