Yellow
As much as I like pink, I think yellow with your color scheme.

Decision help on it's way!
Robert and Fred,
In order to make the decision easier for you, I say keep the yellow where it is,
and put the pink one where those old beat up Laundramat Twins are, and send them to me in Sacramento! Just Say'in. Hope this helps
Hugs,
David

Many yellow eyes fading in pink
I don't like to vote for yellow, but in your kitchen, just as it is decorated now, the yellow is the winner.
That pink is beautiful...and Malcom, I remember that I Dream of Jeannie Show where the house was changing colors- good analogy.
Will you keep the pink stove anyways, in case you can resurrect it? I hate to see the pink one lobotomized.

Yellow all the way!
My vote is for yellow! It looks great against the blue on your floor and it really does pop!
Give the pink one to a friend!
Have fun!

The yellow makes the kitchen pop and will be more cheery in the dead of winter!

Or...
You could get rid of both and get a nice vintage white Wedgewood or Okeefe & Merritt GAS range! With the center griddle!

I Agree...If
The Fridge Freezer stays Turquoise and the Dishwasher stays Pink - what about a "Harlequin" theme effect mix and match the doors, top and console of the cookers - Pinky Yellow?
Not been drinking - Honestly!!

Mike, I already suggested the mix and match theme to Fred and I got that spousal "absolutely not" look that could kill lol.
Rich, we much prefer electric cooking, otherwise we'd have a Western Holly round window range as it looks like a double front loader. There is both a gas line and electric line behind our range, so it would be easy to do either, but no gas cooking in this house.
I agree with most about the yellow being a warmer color, but the pink is sooooooo cute and quintessential 1950's. What we decided to do is rebuild the pink range, since we've had the yellow for a while. Then we will put the yellow range into the garage and live with the pink for six months or so and see how we like it. After six months we will make the final decision, if we go back to yellow then the good parts will have to be removed from the pink range and installed on the yellow range.

I'd choose the pink for the funky factor.
I have never seen pink before in Canada, so it "looks" like someone purposely restored it and chose that color...looks like a choice a trendy/wealthy/hipster person would make.
Yellow, brown and green were once popular, so the yellow color just makes it look old...looks like someone who can't afford any better would have.
Of course if pink was once popular in your area, and yellow was rare, then the yellow might be the "cool" color.
Since you like them both equally, go for the one that draws mor smiles and comments from your visitors.

Well, obviously I prefer gas cooking over electric, at least for the range top. For the oven, I prefer electric. For the broiler, gas. It does get a bit complicated, lol.
Robert, your decision to go with the pink makes sense, since that one is in much better working order and will need less done to it to get it ready for use. The yellow as a "back up" is good too.
I haven never seen yellow appliances as very common. Of course I'm not counting the very popular Harvest and Harvest Gold colors as yellow, per se. I like the bright sunshiny yellow of that range, and agree that it would look just as good in that kitchen as the pink one (you do have a yellow accent wall near it as well).
Personally I wouldn't have a pink appliance. Just not my taste. Pink bathroom, OK if it's vintage.

Good choice on your approach, you have both so give the pink one a test run and see what you think. I think I'd choose the pink one as it seems to reflect the vintage more. I showed the thread to Annette and there was no contest, but pink is her favorite color.
I concur on the choice of electric cooking too, its just so much more controllable.

It seems like yellow received more votes, but I vote for pink--even though I see you have already decided. I think the camera did not pick up the pink color as faithfully as it did the yellow color. I would like to see you get one more pink mixer to pull it together.

Hi everyone, well almost five months later we're back. Now we've swapped colors. The KitchenAid dishwasher has gone from pink to yellow and the GE Range has gone from yellow to pink!
The color isn't photographing quite right, the color in person is more of a super forum yellow color, and we love it! I rebuilt the frame and decided to make it match in color as well.
First before having it painted, I needed to get it sandblasted to remove the pink paint.
