I admit, English is not my first language but when I look at the colour on the filament site and in the articles. The "platinum" looks beige/creamish. When I think platinum, I think silver/grey/pewter. Maybe platinum is the grade and not the colour?

Can someone with obvious good taste help me understand this ?

Possibly the color when printed is slightly different from the color on the spools? Because the color on the spools looks like the previous cream/yellow/beige color used for the original Mac. Either that or they made the mistake of sampling a slightly yellowed Mac.
The gray Apple used when they decided to modernize was indeed a light gray color.

I agree that platinum feels like it should be whiter than cream. It's more of an artistic name. I once showed my car to a friend and informed him the paint color was "Champagne Gold." He took one look at it and said "No, it's metallic beige."
