Appliance Colors

[pulltostart]

There have been several threads of late regarding appliance colors. I thought I'd share these examples. They seem to make today's monochromatic offerings soooo boring by comparison!

First example: GE's Petal Pink from the mid 50's:

Next up, a nice pair of cooking items in GE's Avocado, circa 1970:

Third, a Harvest range from the later 70's. Not the absence of shading, indicative of a post-1977 item:

Here's my favorite - Turquoise Green. Same range as the first (pink) example. Color was later replaced by Avocado in mid 60's:

Lastly - a couple of examples of "coppertone" as it was generically known. The washer is an earlier product, complete with shading. The dryer is a later version, sans shading (and in GE lingo known as Coffee).

Enjoy, and feel free to ad other examples.

The color trinity of the 70's...

Coppertone, avocado green, and harvest gold.
