Hey Phil, one of my neighbors and a couple relatives had the Kenmore 800 sets, and that is the original design accent around the controls. I think it was meant to co-ordinate with the various colors the cabinets were made in, such as Coppertone & Avocado.

Swoon!!  The match to the washer we got February 1970.

Hi Tom,

Actually, looking at it again, I like it - it probably looked nice when new. Sorry I made the mistake there - but time wore away the freshness. Thanks! It would be neat to see a matching washer.

The original color accent...

Around the knobs always reminds me of a groovy psychedelic/tie-dye design.

ME LIKES IT!
;oD

I think the design is called "tortoise shell." The LK combo from around 1969 or 1970 had that control panel background.

I had wallpaper in blue similar...did one wall of my bedroom to effect water.
