Noctua's been using this scheme of colours for many years. Who TF are you to ask them to change the colour scheme and also mention that Beige is the color of your grandma's car?

If YOU don't like this then do not buy from them. GO ahead and use any other manufacturers that meet your desires.

Noctua uses beige because of owls or something, I don't really care for the aesthetics and their coolers are great but I agree that they could offer a bit more appealing color schemes nowadays.

First off, slow your roll turbo. There's a large number of people who don't care for the Noctua Beige.
Second, don't be a dick.

@Carlos coconutt
Noctua has a number of fans that aren't beige/red. one of them being their Chromax line.

As well as their industrial line

Another being their redux line.

You don't like it? Don't buy it. Dark Rock Pro 4 is better cooler atm anyway. Its black. Its maybe even bit cheaper. You must love it.

Apparently it’s because of the founder’s wife. Hair colour was used for the brown they have, skin colour was used for the tan they have.

Correct! I guess this is () where that fan color came from.. And really is a BOLD branding thing for their product.. That is important for business..

 

Like simply by see a fan with this color, people will instantly "oh, that's a noctua's premium fan" or "lol, wtf is this color?" then end up find that is a premium fan, that will stick strong in people's mind.. Branding kicks in!

It's the color of performance. You see that you know its a quality fan.

Noctua all black is coming soon, end of 2018

[For Science!]

Agreed, branding is important. One of these is a Noctua fan, but its hard to tell once its not the classic color scheme. I think Noctua really did themselves a favour by having great performance and a color scheme that stands out. You know when you see tan and brown = performance.

I also have 4x120mm iPPC 3000, 2x140mm iPPC 3000, 2xNF-A15 Chromax, 1xNF-A14 Chromax, which all are black. So yes, that beige color is pure Noctua's right of how they design their products, yet I also don't like that beige color so much, and black ones are more appealing.

 

I don't mind to get the black ones by paying additional prices, as long as I can get a good aestethic from top tier products to get the combo of sleek elegant looks & performance. From what I researched about fans, Noctua's fan design are the most sleek, simplest and the most elegant among others, look at those fan blades and frames, not too many cosmetics are involved.

I still can use the beige ones for other system that doesn't need aestethic or simply sell it.. No complains.. No regrets..

I'm actually surprised that I don't see any cheapo knockoff fans that are of the tan/brown color scheme since it is so unique that people probably associate tan+poo=noctua=quality. 

 

Since the design of the fan is directly associated with its performance I suppose color is the only way to make a product "look unique". But yes, the Noctua brand carries enough reputation nowadays that they don't need to stick to the color scheme anymore, which is what they are doing anyway. But I guess the wife is important nonetheless.

[corrado33]

You guys know you can switch out the brown/tan pads for black/grey ones.... right?

And their redux line is grey, IIRC.

At full speed, yes, they are very noisy, so it is utmost crucial to know how to set up a fan curve correctly. These are the 2000 rpm model, normally I have them on 400 rpm idle, and ~1000 rpm during load, then they are quiet.

[Velcade]

embrace the brown!  If it's through out the build it doesn't look that bad.

[Tristerin]

Ive never owned a single Noctua anything because of this color scheme.  Completely turns me off.  And Im pretty perverted
