It appears to be, but that range looks kind of late for Woodtone.

 

It sure reminds me of the Cordoba shade that Maytag briefly offered.

"Woodtone Brown"

Was the name General Electric used for their cocoa brown.  If Frigidaire had something comparable (as it appears they did) I do not know the official name of the color.

Honey Beige? Listed as 1972 color.

Link is to Frigidaire colors. Other appliance manufacturers listed above on page. Just click on name to go to colors offered. Cool paint info site.

It could be Honey Beige, but in real life I remember that to be lighter. They had another rare color around '66 called Autumn Haze, which this may very well be.

Tom - I was thinking it would be hard to know for sure, until a code(?) on the stove is read. Were those indicated on the same plaque as the model number?

That is a super link, Ken.  Wow.

 

Aztec Copper would be the winner.  Funny how much the shades of the same name differed.

Didn't one MFG. call this by another name, too?

Funny how the Figidaire Paint Code chart seems to have colors for appliances as well as cars... But not surprising, since they're both built by GM...

It's a K model The first Electri-Clean Twin 30 Flair model and the color is one of those weird 1966 colors...

What a great publication

I really like the watercolor graphics of this piece.  That and the 'Space-Age' references with the refrigerators - especially the Star Trek-esque models with the bubbles on their heads!

That is a cool reference site. I originally found it looking for auto paint colors. You can search by maker or by year. The fact there were also appliance colors there was an added bonus.

Love in the brochure how the compressor is no more but was now the "power capsule".

What a cool brochure - thanks for posting. I love the Ride-Aire...do you have one of those in your collection? ..so much fun looking at all these brochures and appliances when it was a new space-age world.
