Great job Marty. Thanks for your efforts.

Good job Marty. Thank you for putting in the time to compile this list. It's a beautiful thing to think about all the creativity and craftsmanship (and marketing) that went into producing kettles of all these colors. You are documenting a great part of the history of American lifestyle.
Going by this list, I have something less than 14% of the possible Weber colors out back of the house. I'm gonna need a bigger boat.
Well..a bigger back yard. I don't have a boat.

Maybe I'm thinking of "sky blue". Either way, it's NOT blue wave, and we've never seen another one like it.

That's pretty cool. I checked that out on the link. Thanks for putting a list together although it seams vintage colors are rare in my area. I've only seen one mbh for sale in my area and it was red and I bought it. I haven't seen a black mbh or any master touch pop up yet. A friend of mine found a gray (i think) in cincinatti but it sold right away.

There's two different coppers, original bed bath/ Sam Adams/performer copper and uline copper. That's pretty subtle though.
Similarly, 80s "true" gray and crate & barrel gray are definitely 2 different colors.
Chestnut Coppertone is also called "boobie pink"
I think spring green is also referred to as crate and barrel green.
If you go to fades, you have red. I believe all brownies and plainsman (white whales) are fades.
I'm not sure how you categorize the Westerner, but that can be added too.

Good input. Thanks. Strange as it sounds the Westerner is listed as Chestnut Copperton in the catalogs. I do have the boobie pink reference listed.

Correct about the Copper. Reg. Copper is lighter in color. Uline is much darker and brighter in color. 2 totally different color in my view. But, Spring Green is not same as the C&B green known as Grass Green.
If you want, I can take some comparo pics. I think I already have a Spring Green,C&B Green, and Uline Green lid comparison pic somewhere.

Sorry if this is the wrong place, but what would be the color name for this? It is a grill I am looking to pick up in my area for pretty cheap.

That's a fine looking red MT there! Go get it!
We call it a red fade here, but Weber would only refer to it as red. This one has a nice deep almost burgundy fade to it, some are not as pronounced. When it get's hot, the entire lid may end up the darker color.

I thought Weber called it Red Mist.

Which colors are currently sold? I know the new performers come in black, green, copper, crimson (through True Value), and blue (through Crate and Barrel). Any others?

Yes, turquoise was similar to Blue Wave but a slightly different shade. I think it was only offered as a Smokey Joe and maybe a Compact Kettle in the UK. The UK did do several exclusive colors on Compacts over the years, one was called 'Deep Turquoise' and another 'Lagoon Blue'. Deep Turquoise had a lot of green in it from memory but I tried googling it but nothing comes up. The product code was 61674. A very small image of the lagoon Blue (21874) comes up on google but only on the search page, the article itself is too old and they have archived the images

@bear feel free to send that to me for further inspection and verification of authenticity.

Maybe interesting for you? Torquoise smokey joe and a wedgewood blue 18 in comparison!(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180131/bf9e291cdc36144144612592431c450e.jpg)

Looks to me that Turquoise & Wedgewood blue are different. It looks to me that there is a slight hint of green in the turquoise sj.
-
@Bertl if you need someone to put that Wedgewood Blue together, just ship it to me, and I'll take care of it.
-
I think it's taken care of already!!!

Hello @56MPG
Have you ever seen a "Wedgewood John Lewi"?
The serial number says the same like Wedgewood blue Sj

Thank you @jimbo7070 for the information. I bought today a Sj Wedgewood but was not able to upload pictures.
Btw: i thought to be the only owner of a Wooddale kettle here in Europe ;-)
You got an awesome collection! Is it possible to take a view at your collection if i ever visit Berlin?

Congrats on the wedgewood Smokey @Bertl, I guess there's not many left out there. (I just had to check to see if mine was still there! ;-) )
I believe you still have the oldest Wood Dale in Europe but yes, I am lucky enough to have three currently and hopefully one more on the way soon! (fingers crossed) It would be a pleasure to show you around if you're ever in Berlin

I think i have the same one Norbert!!

Can't seem to load pic's..

Re-surfacing this list as I think there may have been some changes or new colors in the past couple years. Please add your knowledge to the thread and I'll update the list on Page 1.

bloody hell there have been a lot of colors! any collectors successfully acquired samples of them all?
-
Sorry, but I must be missing something. Is there a list attached to this thread that shows what the colors are? I can't seem to find it.
