What Colour Is This?
« on: May 05, 2018, 04:38:06 AM »
Does anyone know the name of this colour Weber kettle (in the lower right corner)?
We've had this one for many years now, always called it Purple, but I'm not sure that's correct...

I’m fairly certain the name is Plum (maroon)

Hi Tim, I'm still breathing, slightly however..., thanks for asking... trying to shake this bronchitis crap now...

I have this grill in storage and thoughts of thinning a bit, but the brain in the house told me it's off-limits.
Haven't seen too many (if any) in this colour, have you? Or anyone?

Hope the nicer weather has you feeling better soon, Jim.
Never seen one this color in person.  I think they only did this color for 2 or 3 years.

Hi Jim, I think the current consensus is that grill's official color is "burgundy" but there are 2 known shades. One that is purpley like yours, often colloquially called "plum" and a darker reddish one colloquially called "maroon"

   Wait until you get an 18" plum then sell them both as a set.
