When was Avocado introduced as a kitchen appliance color? On various sites, I've seen the answer to this question generalized as "the 1960s". But, there is a real answer, and given the popularity of the color, along with its longstanding place in the American zeitgeist, this particular moment in interior design history deserves to be acknowledged. Colors like harvest gold, coppertone, poppy red, and avocado green are often shunned and dismissed as unfortunate or downright ugly.
But in the era where these colors were in vogue, manufacturers were turning out truckloads of stoves, refrigerators, washers, dryers and small appliances in these earth tones and people were buying them. The stove itself deserves some mention. Its avocado color scheme dates it solidly in the seventies.
