I've decided that I want all harvest gold appliances in my kitchen. The hardest things to find will be the stove and refrigerator, but I keep looking.
My Kitchen is Going Harvest Gold.

My KitchenAid Custom 21 has harvest gold front panels, but the sides and back are almond and are scratched up pretty bad. A friend of mine told me that Sherwin Williams can match colors and put in spray cans, so I might do that for the KitchenAid and Whirlpool.

I found a set of harvest gold Club Aluminum cookware on eBay, but I think there will be a bidding war on those. Also found a harvest gold crockpot, Sunbeam percolator that I might bid on as well.

I won the Sunbeam percolator!
Harvest Gold stuff
I have a really great Supreme Aluminum pan (it's just the one, though)and a Sunbeam 5-speed hand mixer in Harvest Gold. Email me directly if you might be interested and I will get some pictures on the weekend - hubby has politely suggested it's time for me to do some early spring cleaning!
Sigh - Harvest Gold was the main colour in our kitchen when I was a brat. The range and refrigerator (still working) got sold at auction 3 years ago when my father gave up his farm in Ontario...

YAY Jim. You'll have beautiful harvest gold sunny days in your kitchen, regardless of the weather outside.

Paul, I'm definitely interested in the pan and mixer, will email you when I get home from work.
I want to repaint the kitchen and suggestions as to what color to go along with the appliances?

Here is a photo of my 1970's Harvest Gold Westinghouse Refrigerator for fun....
Goodwill on South US 1 here
Had a Harvest Gold GE fridge and pushbutton range with self-cleaning oven at the same time, they went together, hopefully to someone who will love them. They were reasonable too. Broke my heart I couldn't get them.

Jim, harvest gold can be a difficult color to complement. A few years ago a friend redid his kitchen and wanted a "modern retro" design (70's look, with modern functionality). He experimented with harvest gold, coppertone and avocado appliances, and eventually decided to go with harvest gold.
He tried many different wall paint colors and wallpapers, coutertop surfaces and floor tiles etc, and it took him almost a year to come up with a design he was happy with. I'm going from memory here, but for wall color I think he tried a light shade of pink, purple, sage green and off-white, with the pink looking the best by far. His backsplashes were weathered brick veneer and the cabinets were a medium oak with antiqued brass hardware.

Suddenly, it's 1970
The house that I grew up in (and parents still live there) was built in 1970. The kitchen is still harvest gold - oven and refrigerator are GE and still going strong. This dishwasher died years ago and is now white. Sink is even harvest gold. Cabinets are cherry - were refinished about 5 years ago. Countertops are white with gold flecks. When I lived there, the kitchen was carpeted...small clover pattern...very, very busy. It's now hardwood. For the most part, it's virtually unchanged from 1970. Honestly, unless the stove and refrigerator die, they will never replace them!

Jim, I like that fridge. There is a GE side by side in avocado being stored in the building next door to me, if it were harvest gold I would be finding a way to get it into my house.

Jim is that GE refrigerator like the one in the Brady Bunch kitchen? Ice and Water in the door ? Those were great refrigerators. We got one in 1971 and had it for over 20 years before we sold it. They can be painted. Here is photo of one in white or almond color.

I'm not sure if it has ice and water in the door, it's been awhile since I looked at it.
Harvest Gold is still out there to be found. I just sold a top mount Frigidaire refrigerator, circa 1975 or so.

...Will probably be the hardest thing to find, but as Kenny just pointed out, they're still out there. I personally always liked the one in Suzanne Pleshette's kitchen on The Bob Newhart Show. It was an Amana side-by-side like the one in the pic, only Harvest instead of Avocado. Very chic in '72!
