Well look at that! All that is old is new again. I like their cobalt blue model though. I wonder if orange counter tops will come back to go with, or also harvest gold. | ||

Kitchenaid has a range available in misty blue, claimed to be a soft blue with a hint of green.

That KA Misty Blue looks more like Kelvinator Lagoon Blue than Turquoise. | ||

Funny you asked...
Yellow Pepper. Looks more along the lines of harvest wheat though.

Since this is a avocado green thread, here’s my 1973 Maytag A606 and DG306 in a laundry room with avocado green-ish walls

I’ve used that wash bored once and it works well but I don’t think my Maytag A606 will go out anytime soon since it had to have been sitting in storage for at least 20 years, and the dryer didn’t have much lint inside at all. Haven’t had any issues with the DG306 since I put it into service last summer, but I’ll take it apart this summer to clean the lint out and oil and grease all the bearings while I have it apart

The avocado cream looks more like a moss green that's sometimes seen on newer Lincoln cars, vacuums etc. It doesn't look like the classic avocado to me but I kind of like it. It could just be the picture making it look different though. | ||

The reason why I say 20 years in storage is the timer was stiff on the Maytag A606, and it was stiff because it hadn’t been turned in a long time. When I tried it out for the first time on the spin cycle, it took quite awhile for it to get up to speed and the belts were fine but again it hadn’t been used in a very long time. I think the real reason why it was taken out of service is the small metal clips that hold it on were broken, and when looked through the pilot access panel the motor was no longer attached to the base and had moved to the left side of the cabinet. Here’s photos of the back panel removed when I first got it home that night

I have no clue. The person I bought them from said they were given him, but he decided to sell them since the push button assembly on the dryer was stuck (the dryer was originally a DG606 but I converted it to DG306) and wasn’t even sure if the dryer worked or not and he decided to sell them as a pair since matching older sets are not all that common. Happened to spot them on the Los Angeles Craigslist earlier that week and called the guy and said I would come by to pick them up that weekend and that’s the story of how I got my Maytag A606 set

The interesting thing is I didn’t have to do much to the A606 other than do a slight adjustment to the water level selector, and that was it for the A606 washer. The matching dryer needed a lot of work to get it up and going again, and I am sort of bummed I didn’t get the electronic dry control to work but I just put a timer in to make it simpler. There was some rust from the constant burning pilot light but it wasn’t as much as I thought it would be, and it was the rear panel that had the most rust out of everything and I am going to get more cans of gray paint and I am going to give it another couple of coats just to be safe
