Is there anyone here that absolutely loves a certain color of kettle now that was an acquired taste at first...meaning when you first saw it, you were like, hmmm, not sure about that color, but after seeing more of them over time, stalking, saving pics of them, envy from seeing other grillfellas score one, it's just plain growing on you to where you've got to go get your own? What color was/is it for you?
For me...love at first sight....redheads of course...now the color I had to warm up to, and finally being hit over the head by the cupid color love bug.....YELLOW!. With all the yellows popping up lately it got me thinking, yellow really is a pretty sweet kettle color. It turns orange when hot, it stands out..it goes great with a redhead. Damn it! This doesn't bode well for curing my raging case of the 'Itis. Not that I'm looking for a cure. ;D
What's your acquired taste? Or whats a color you just havn't gotten into yet?
-
The Crate-&-Barrel green was a no-go at first. Hell, I even passed up a Performer on CL over it. But now???
I still haven't warmed up to the brownies yet.

Mmmm.. Brownies!
I guess I havn't quite warmed up to Limes yet, I'm working on it, seems strange since I LOVE avocado kettles. It must be the "two tone" lids that draw me in.

Craig, you have brought up a difficult question...

Gray.....At 1st it was: How blah & ordinary....now it's like: Yeah, that's such a groovy, smooth, understated color.... 8)
Esp. the oldest ones....metal handles all around.....
You people have changed me....kettles aren't just for cooking anymore..... :D

no now Craig settle down, your working yourself up over nothing ::)
you just stick to your reds and your new affliction with the warrior :-*
and me and hogsy will take all the fruit 8)
wouldn't want you in trouble with SWMBO :'(

The boobie pink still doesn't do it for me and i'm not growing fond of it in the least. I really like the two tone fades. It took me a while to appreciate them.

"The boobie pink still doesn't do it for me and i'm not growing fond of it in the least"
Now that right there's a tagline if I ever saw one !!!!
-
I havent quite warmed up to the maroons or colid chestnut browns....maybe someday.
-
Maybe we need a thread to store famous taglines. ;)
-
Brownies and greys for me. KenMC's grey is a thing of beauty. And reds are over rated.

Well.........................Yeah..... !!!!!!
-
I still can't get into the brownies. But the red and the yellow...I've been watching a red on CL that I really want. The XC REALLY wants a lime one.
I agree with Buckie, you people have changed me.

If she likes the older limes then she would probably really like one of the new UK Spring Greens
http://www.weberbbq.co.uk/product/one-touch-premium/
All you'd have to do is contact a UK agent and arrange shipping back across the pond, after all its only money right ;D
-
For those that are consistently whining about "colors we can't get in our country"
.....have you thought about asking for a "One-Touch® Premium".....in a certain "COLOUR ?

Brownies and grey for me too!

I guess my true "not yet" color is Chestnut Coppertone a.k.a "boobie pink" It's definitely a '50s appliance color. Now I'm not saying that if I ever found one, I wouldnt snag it. Its a vintage kettle. I'd snag any kettle with metal handles or that required thumbscrews. ;) Weird because the 2-tone brownies and avocado kettles (which I love) remind me of 60s-70s appliance colors which were in my Grandma's kitchen (2 tone brown) and my parents kitchen (2 tone avocado), both colors remind me of my childhood. Memories. :)

Eastex, I REALLY like you, but the XC read this and now she has the contact number and is pushing hard!! As if shes not already in my wallet! I'm pretty sure she doesn't need your help. Ahhh, thanks? ;) LOL!!!
Oh, and just for payback...if after your trip, those 2 lovely daughters of yours feel the need to learn the blues, I have a vintage ES 335 Memphis series for sale.... ;)
-
Well at least there should be room in the shipping container for the matching Spring Green Weber Style tongs and spatula right? It'd be a shame to have to use some old beat up tools on that fine grill wouldn't it? :)

I picked up the oldest another iTunes card today, I could have outfitted Beale Street AND Sixth Street with what I've spent on iPods and iTunes! In the words of Howlin Wolf " I did not say that I was a millionaire, but if I have spent more money than a millionaire"

Like I said earlier, I am coming around on the limes. Old or new.

That's one of those blue waves i've been pineing for. :(

Blue wave almost looks like Galley-Q blue.
-
It's funny, the Galley Q was Seafoam, the early metal top handled ones were Seafoam, but when the wood top handle came out as "The Imperial" it was changed to Glen Blue which is much more pale. I'm not a huge of glen blue, but I really like the seafoam/aqua.
-
For me its the Black. I never liked black but now with the addition of my 26'er I'm strangely coming around. It's my ninja or maybe the dark knight in my collection.
-
When I put my Galley Que next to my european turquoise Smokey...they are darn near identical.
-
I didn't love my red until I'd had it for a few days. And I've acquired and rehabbed two grays for friends, and I kinda miss them. Gray is a cool, understated color. But I think I'd love to have a yellow. Especially after hearing Craig say they shift to orange when hot.
