Cadet Blue

I realize this forum is for washers, dryers, dishwashers - but the "color" topic covers the whole gamut of appliances. With that in mind - here's an example of GE's "Cadet Blue". Admitedly, not a particularly cheerful color.

Europa Thermadors Grey

My first job out of college was managing a kitchen sales and design showroom in Richmond, VA (1986). We had one of first display of Thermadors original Europa series which was a very pale grey. It was later replaced with Europa II, a black glass series.

One of the sales and design issues of the day was that the colors from brand to brand were not consisten. The sand and the toast did not match. The GE onyx color was used for appliances that had some black glass and other black accents. Often time the majority of the appliance was white. This was before the popularity of white on white.
