Post by: MrHoss on June 04, 2015, 12:09:06 PM
My wife found this on Martha Stewart's facebook page and tagged me. I do not know what colour that is.....

The magazine cover is surely a Photoshop creation but the other image is odd. Not light enough to be the Gray we know; more like the Charcoal color of Euro models. But that image is a stop or two underexposed and contrasty, so who knows the real shade.

Yep I'm going with chocolate based on it being the only colour that's close  from that era of kettles

Look at the white on the wheel of the gasser....and the wood.....it's not so processed or "off" as to make a Brownie look like that......just an opinion, but I think it's special...... 8)

Grey or faded black??
Only one bowl handle....what era did they start making them like that?
It almost looks like red on the underside of the metal part of the lid handle.

Yes. Everything looks right but for the colour of that Kettle. Damn thing looks olive green to me. Probably sitting unused on one of Martha's properties beside a bunch of other stuff she got comp'd.

That looks like a "lighting job" or color edit effect of a 90s BAR B KETTLE. Looks cool..

Why would a '90s economy model have a Performer's plastic handle? Only the "middle line" One Touch and MasterTouch got wood handles back then?

It's a black kettle.  Levels have been adjusted and masked to bring out the detail.
Handle is wood.
