Name that color!

[pulltostart]

For years I've looked for a name for the orangy-red that GE used on the 1961 30" range and the portable mixer.  I'm not certain that both products were offered at the same time - or not; and I've never found any other household item from the same time period in that color.  I have one of the mixers, even have the box, but the color name is not legible.

 

Today I found this Ebay listing for the same mixer with a photo of the box that includes the name of the color.  The seller even uses that name in the title of his/her listing.  And that name is........

I wonder if GE used the same name for the range.

Wow Lawrence if I remember correctly you’ve been searching for that name for quite some time. Glad you found it.

Hmm

Would have called it blood orange rather.
To "yellow" for flame IMO.

Here are some Pantone matches if anyone cares...

Formica used to use "burnt orange" for their laminate.

Tupperware used "Paprika" along with a few other subtly different shades in their collections.

Shades of dark orange and red were in fashion in the mid to late 70s.

1 vote for Coral, had the color not been labeled.

Yes, FLAME!

It took me awhile to find that name too! I ended up finding a vintage ad that featured it - wish I would have saved a screenshot.
 
The GE M47 is my favorite hand mixer design and I've collected what I think is every color they made.  They also made a stand mixer using the M47! As far as I know it was only made for overseas - I have a screenshot of it on my old computer which is unfortunately dead

 

EDIT: Found a link for the stand mixer!

Love!

I'm generally a Mixmaster gal, but I love this model hand mixer, and Flame is my favorite color.
