It's just "Shaded Coppertone". I always liked GE/Hotpoint's version the best. | ||

Great Find! It's in great shape; no rust around the hole in the lid for the Power Shower feed. Note the extra hinge to support the hardwood cover--no stinting on quality. The interior looks remarkably unused. I think it was garaged for most of its life. | ||

"what were they thinking..."
Thanks to a post in Super, I watched through a series on YouTube on eating and also a bit about life in past decades in the UK. I saw the decorating style of the 1970s in one video, and yes, it does make one wonder what they were thinking back then...
Link below is to YouTube at the point where the family see their home for the first time after its transformed to 1970-something. My favorite line is the comment about the carpet hurting eyes... CLICK HERE TO GO TO LordKenmore's LINK | ||

A similar series the BBC created took a family back to 1970, and we get to see the appliances, electronics, and other period artifacts, year by year to 2000.

When I worked at a Frigidaire dealer during the Spring-Summer of '77, Colonial Copper was second to Avocado for colored appliances; with Harvest Gold coming in a close third. I don't remember anyone buying anything in Terra Cotta. It was kind of unusual for them to sell anything but White, as most of the customers were older farm people. | ||

CircleW - You're welcome Tom, thanks backatcha. :-) I like the Coppertone, but as a twenty-someone in the 70's, I don't think I gave it a thought. I wasn't a huge fan of Harvest or Avocado. But all things can be worked into a pleasing scheme, even if ...we have our loves/hates.
Shag carpeting - no thanks, it works against the allergy issue. I would have liked it if it wasn't so ratty looking...even when it was popular. As an area rug, though, I don't mind. ...interesting link, Delaney- | ||
