What Color Frigidaire Stove is this?

[oldskool]

A 30 inch Frigidaire Stove - not sure of color - perhaps pale pink or could be a photo issue. In St. Louis CL

Though there is a slight pink cast to the photo, I think this range is from the 70's, so probably is Almond. A nice one regardless.

This appears to be a model RE-38S and if correct, it was available in avocado, harvest gold, snowcrest white and poppy.  My guess would be that if it hasn't been repainted, it's white with bad lighting.  I do not find a date on the Frigidaire catalog that I'm referencing, but "almond" is not available anywhere in the catalog, so I'm guessing this is from about 1976 or 1977 (I do have a 1978 catalog and it does include "almond").

Camera problem . . .

Some digital cameras have a tendency to shift colors towards magenta. Look at how fluorescent-bright the magenta folder on top of the stove is - nothing else in the photo is so bright. I'm pretty sure the stove is either white or almond.

A nice warm shade of almond maybe

I agree with Lawrence; that stove is close to the end of the GM run and pink was long gone. Funny factoid, but when you learn baking and pastry from the French dudes, they actually point out that almonds(blanched) turn "pink" when they are baked properly. BTW these were WONDERFUL electric stoves. The ovens were huge and fast and the thick coil burners were fast and so hot you could wok-cook on the big burners with results similar to using a 30K BTU gas jet.

Burner Sizes?

With all the papers on top, not sure if this is a 3 small/1 large configuration or a 2 small/2 large? Anybody know?

Burner configuration

I blew the pic up to 400% and it really looks like an arrangement with 3 6" burners. That range has a self-cleaning oven too!!! And Ken, I agree with you about the performance of those thick-coil burners and their ovens.

 

[pulltostart]

The RE-38S was equipped with 2 6" surface units and 2 8" surface units, Electri-clean Oven and an "elegant high console with a full-width Console Light".
