They weren't identical. The beige one is made to sit on a //e and the white
one can sit on top of a IIgs or on a stand meant for use with a //c or
//c plus. It looks the same shape wise as the IIgs monochrome monitor.
They both became grey when all Apple stuff changed to grey.

Applecolor Monitor 100 to be precise

Yep either the extended 80 col/Applecolor card or a RAMworks w/RGB interface

The other way around too. I have a //e style composite color monitor sitting
in my computer room and run a really long RCA to it from the TV in the living
room when I want to compute and watch the tube at the same time. A friend of
mine bought a complete //e system for $80 just to get the monitor so he 
can use it that way too. I get the rest, pretty cool, another grey //e for
the collection.
