The ryobi reps just put out the latest 6" grinder when I was at the
store.
The color is not my favorite. A bright lime green or the like.
The led light is nice. I think the price was $30-40 but maybe add $4-5
for a can of spray paint.
I only noticed since I had just walked down the aisle minutes before
and the dark blue grinder was displayed.
If you do do self checkout and buy spray paint the system sets off
alarms to show an id. If there's no one there though
I just continued checkout and no problems.

Is it possible that your lack of brain cells has something to do with the aforementioned spray paint? ;-)

Ryobi "may" have a few colors to identify product grade.
Makita has blue and a white. The blue is the better of the two colors.

I had IIRC the original bench top planer, the Ryobi AP10. That was a
damn fine machine. It is a shame that Ryobi went the Black & Decker
route. IIRC I bought it in 1988.

It appears that you may have missed my poor attempt at humor. That might be due to differences in how/where we grew up.
I never participated in this particular spray-paint related pastime, but I had some acquaintances that did:

Laughing at my own self
I didn't know that color was their signature color.
I realized it when I looked at their site today.
The plastic case that the forstner bits is clear and that green.
I think I got a good deal on these bits for $17.
If I had brain cells I would have negotiated with the reps on
buying the previous dark blu grinder at a greatly reduced price.
Wonder where they sell those

Could be, I didn't notice the price of the grinder they took
off display. The green ones were cheap, I think he said without
the light it was $29.

More likely I don't need a grinder right now so didn't think of it
until later and I don't know how well they'd last
So no spraying needed this time

yes I got that, it wasn't bad
I discovered I own exactly one ryobi tool, it's a sander with a
triangle head. haven't used it in a while but it's blue.
I think I might try to put a blade on it and make it into a
multitool thing.

It's all a damn shame from top-to-bottom
The ryobi reps at the store really put the hard sell if they corner
you. I got a good chuckle
I looked at the current ryobi planer offering
a bad joke
