There are two hardware declensions of the first generation (G1) Prime. Rev. A and Rev. C (there was no Rev. B that I'm aware of).

All of the Rev. A and some of the early Rev. C units had the wishy-washy, barely visible colour scheme. Later Rev. C and all Rev. D (G2) Primes have the much better contrast markings.

It's doubtful that there are still any Rev. A models on the market. There are still some Rev. C models available, notably in the Americas. If you buy one of those, you won't know what colours you're getting until you unbox the unit. If you buy a G2 (Rev. D) then you're sure to get the better colour scheme.
