I was curious as to the color coding on the pushbuttons does it have something to do with water temperature or what?

I think the colors are more decorative than anything else. However, the two white buttons are for Cottons Linens White and Perm Press White. The two reddish-orange buttons opposite them are Cottons Linens Colored and Perm Press Colored. The green buttons are delicate cycles, perhaps green indicating lower temps & gentler action. Yellow is Pre Wash. Orange is Enzyme Soak. All the blue buttons are options.

let me help out a bit..
the color tabs, as DadoES says, are more for looks, but there is a slight relation to them. On this year of Lady K, White= Hot water wash, Redish tabs= Warm wash, Green=warm wash. Blue are all options, along with yellow and Orange tabs. Enzyme and pre-wash are both Warm water. The Lady K set me and my hubby have(72), Don't have the color coded tabs(I like the looks of them) but have the pasley design, like what is around the timer Dial. Hope this helps Rich and Chris | ||

Jim and Charles - I'm not really sure here either. I think the color coding was more decorative in nature also, but the use of the same colors for white cycles and color cycles has got to have some correlation. It wouldn't surprise me if an owner's manual from one of those machines mentions the ease of color-coded buttons. As most of us know, Kenmore is famous around here for their color-coding in the early 60s, but they weren't always consistent for what color did what cycle between models and years. Not sure why, but I kinda like the 69-71 panel better with those colors on it and the white center. | ||
