Your favorite 70's appliance color.

What's your favorite vintage color from the 70's for appliances?

1. Nothing says the 70s like those colors...My vote is avocado green!

LOL! :D

Rust brown and harvest gold tied for second!

[Aristus]

2. Yep. Wouldn't have been the Seventies without avocado green

refrigerators, toasters, washers, dryers, etc. B-)

[VelmaD]

8. Toasters?

I thought toasters back then were all space-age chrome. Maybe my mom's was just a leftover from the 60s. :shrug:

5. What he said! :-)

When I was growing up, we always had avocado green for the kitchen. I got used to them.

11. until very recently

I had a toaster with avocado green AND orange on it. When it finally made its last slice of toast I tearfully put it in the trash and replaced it with a sleek new white one that has absolutely no character , no personality <sigh>

3. I have to go with harvest gold. It makes a great stove color.

4. Although I'd like to say avacado green because of its timeless style,

I have to go with rust brown since that's what color ours were. Yikes.

6. Thank you OH SO MUCH

for making me relive the horror that was 70s decorating. :scared:

7. My Mom refused to conform

She complained so much that my Dad made sure that he bought her everything in eggshell white.

9. Scary --

You read the names of those colors and you know EXACTLY what they are. Oh, the 70's -- will orange and yellow ever come back!

[latebloomer]

10. OY! I still have a harvest gold stove

inherited from the previous homeowners.

I might be getting a new stove soon! Oh, happy day!

[JitterbugPerfume]

13. I still have my orange

teakettle with the wicker on the handle though ,and my orange setving tray with the big sunflower in the middle <smile> Ugliest damn thing I EVER seen though was a lavendar bathtub left over from the 70s I would be ashamed to bathe in it!

[VelmaD]

14. My mom's stove and oven...

are both still rust brown. Urp. In a kitchen that everything else is blue with sunshine yellow trim.

12. ANYTHING but Harvest Gold and Avocado Green

I was suppounded by those nauseating colors for too many years. Color my appliances white!

[Whitacre D_WI]

15. When I was growing up,

the stove and fridge were Avocado Green, and the (shag) carpet and sofa were Harvest Gold.

We got rid of the sofa and carpet when I was around 8, kept the kitchen till I moved out at 18; so I voted green.

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. My grandmother still has her Avocado green rotary phone.

:hi:

[cprise]

17. And there's 'Burnt Orange'

That's the majic trio:

Avacado Green
Burnt Orange
Harvest Gold

22. I had an apartment in Atlanta

that had been done in ALL THREE of those colors in the kitchen. I think I was the only one who didn't care one way or the other what colors were in there. Besides, they matched my three leisure suits.

18. I don't care about appliances, but our lavender tub & sink are to die for!

I just wish we still had the original toilet.

[Liberal Veteran]

20. OMG!!!! I have a lavender bathtub too!!!

I hate that damn color, but it's so deep and enamel covered metal instead of that cheap ass fiberglass that I cannot bear to try to rid myself of it.

[qb]

21. Our tub is too small.

Our dream is to put in a lavendar jacuzzi & matching toilet.

19. Remember when you could only get phones in those colors or black?

I think when the phones were in that color the 70's "jumped the shark".

23. Copper brown--my mom has a 30 year old Kenmore fridge.

It's beautiful, it really is.
