Phil, those are actually GE's "Harvest Wheat" color, introduced in late '76. It is an unshaded version of "Harvest". Their "Canary Yellow" was discontinued in '67. | ||

So, the pushbuttons that appeared with the canary yellow were discontinued when G.E. begin producing appliances in harvest wheat? it's kind of cool that the the KitchenAid dishwasher looks to be a perfect match even though it's not a GE product. I wonder what KitchenAid called their harvest wheat look alike color? | ||

Unshaded Appliances All brands of US major appliances matched in color after late 1976 when all US manufactures stopped doing the shaded colors [ this is also when Almond appeared ]
Most people liked the shaded colors better, the shaded avocado and harvest gold were much prettier than these awful unshaded versions of green and gold. Fortunately the green and gold and brown in the unshaded versions were not very popular as these colors were already on the way out once almond was introduced.
Almond was a great color and got the bulk of colored appliance sales after it was introduced, then unfortunately people started going back to white in a big way in the early 90s, black also saw quite a few sales but it is really too dark for most kitchens, and unfortunately Stainless Steel is now the bulk of appliance sales. SS like black should only be a small percentage of overall sales. | ||
