Yes, they made one matching set

and stored it for 40+ years to give to Robert, on the 10th anniversary of his
autowashing collecting during October 2005!!!

The color saturation on this ad is a little off :-) But wouldn't it have been a lovely color?

Yes Darrel is correct, they made one lavender set and White Consolidated Industries gave it to me on my 10th anniversary of collecting vintage automatic washers.  You should see the color of the rings on the agitator!

Aren't they pretty?

I have a pair in Pumpkin. Jon Lovitz gave them to me when he was updating his laundry room in the Hamptons.

I wish I still had the pic I doctored in Photoshop. It was the picture of your machines above that you posted, and I modded it to make them Harvest Gold, shading and all. It was AWESOME. (Of course, they're such lovely machines, they actually looked pretty good even so.)

Oh, yes, Robert--I'm sure that when WCI showed up on your doorstep, you welcomed them with open arms. ;-)

Of course all Jim and I were just kidding about my lavender Unimatic/Filtrator set.   Knowing the ins and outs of photoshop gets the little devil in me going sometimes.  :-)

God it would be such an amazing color in all porcelain no less.

And yes Nate, open arms is was, lol.

I'd love to have that exact set, but in a high gloss, deep emerald green. Mmmmm.

Ken---Yeah, that's the ticket!

I love that pumpkin-colored set, except that the color doesn't pair well with the colors on the control panel.
