I was wondering if anyone knew what model these were. My boyfriend's grandparents have been storing it away for many years and we're curious to find out exactly what it is? From a google search I think it's some kind of II, plus a printer(?) but I couldn't find any monitors in this blue color. Just wondering if you folks had any insight or details. Thanks!

The monitor is an AppleColor Composite Monitor IIe:

The floppy drives underneath of it are standard Apple Disk II 5-1/4" floppy drives:

The computer is an Apple IIe Platinum:

The printer is an ImageWriter II:

The color is probably just due to sun bleaching on the rest of the components.

Thank you Alex, it's much appreciated!
 
Look at the corner of the printer, you can see the original color peeking through where the paint has been slightly rubbed off.
 
Looks like the monitor was also painted to change it from beige to "platinum" (light gray). Notice that the background of the Apple logo doesn't match the rest of the faceplate.

But ironically that Platinum IIe has yellowed over the years to such an extent that it would now match what the original color of the printer and monitor would be if you stripped off the paint.
