It can't be woodtone or poppy red. It almost looks custom? I took out some blue here ...maybe a coppertone as Sears had their own shades of common name colors???

Pretty much every manufacturer had slightly different color shades until 1976 when the Association of home Appliances Manufactures [ AHAM ] got together and all agreed to eliminate shaded appliance colors and make all the popular colors match from one company to another.
The FTC nor any other Federal Agency had anything to do with this change, Hi Jim, I am surprised you would fall for this Fake News, LOL. John L. |

I had both a Sears AND G-E catalog, 1982 for the former, and 1981 for the latter--and do you know what?!
The shades in the appliances in each STILL looked totally different--to where it would be hard for a washer and dryer of the two different makes--even in WHITE--to be side-by-side... Plus, Kenmores were even available in Avocado and Coffee, that GE and several other manufacturers discontinued--well, Major ones, like Maytagg and Whirlpool--we're not counting Tappan, Admiral and Norge. whereas that GE only had Almond, White and Wheat... So, government intervention, rampant as it was, would have probably at least waited until the later '80's, when those trendy colors were slowly, into the '90's were just going out of vogue... -- Dave |
