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.
