What is your least favorite color?

[Mike in Roseville]

This one took me a minute to think about. I would take a Weber in just about any color.

But I have to say:

Burgundy/Purple

[Lightning]

Any colors that even Weber won't bring back are ugly. Sales floor ugly colors that must have sat for years before being discounted so low that Weber had to pay you to take it home.
All these older colors may be considered great colors today but based on passed floor sales, maybe the main reason they don't go into production. It's easier to tell the public that the EPA won't let them spray a toxic Imperial Blue or Westerner color anymore.

Just a conspiracy theory.

This has puzzled me for years. Not with Weber until now but I've run into other situations where other companies have discontinued - not re-engineered, redesigned, not replaced - discontinued products and the stated reason has been a variation of "EPA says no."

The puzzling thing is from a pollution or occupational standpoint, a tightly controlled, closed industrial process shouldn't be an issue.  They're typically more efficient and result in higher quality end product too than a sloppy process that leaks materials into the environment.  I really wonder how much of it is companies dropping product lines and putting the blame on environmental regulators compared to a regulatory body like the EPA getting involved and asking for investments in plant emission controls etc. that companies don't want to make.

It comes down to cost. We all know that the primary colors (Red, Yellow & Blue) are more expensive colors due to more pigment involved to produce these colors. They should just cost more, not be any more toxic than the standard porcelain colors that are being produced today.

But the average Joe can easily be convinced and will buy that "EPA doesn't allow us BS" song.

Homer yellow.

To answer the question, I'd say white and some of the Cados, depending on the mist band. The new flat colors don't appeal to me.

That said, it is less the color than other things, such as the hideous taco handle (which ruins any grill it's on from my POV), post-Gen 2 Performer wheels and frames, and non-wooden handles, with white being the worst.

Coppertone, plainsman and gray....

So much hate for the Cado.
I may have to cook on this one at the meetup.😉
I hope the food tastes ok coming out of it.

Food will taste just as good. I just happen to not like the color. Doesn't make me right, or wrong. I had sworn off black kettles, till I found The One.





Nice wheels!!!

I don't have a least favorite, but black doesn't get me as excited as other colors. Probably because I don't see many colors in my area but see a lot of black kettles.

Black for me.  Love the variety of answers though.  I personally love the greens, but it is interesting how many others do not!  I completely agree with @MikeRocksTheRed about the handles.  They can really transform the appearence of any grill.

[Mark Schnell]

The new slate blue !  It's a flat finish with almost no shine to it.  Like forgetting to put the clear coat on a new car paint job... it's just not cool.

I couldn't agree more, I was one of those guys who took chance and ordered one of these from Canada. I bought the Slate because of the Weber ad photo that showed it in gloss. It looked beautiful — in the photo, in real life — not so much.  I love the features on the Mastertouch, but it's just blah. Should have got the spring green, or white one.

Black. I'm tired of black kettles.

And I love the taco... it WORKS!!! It's not about looks, it's about functionality! Get yer fucking heads out of yer asses and look at what it does! I own 3 "Tacos" and love them! Just sayin'...

I am almost the same. Black gets the vote only due to how common they are here compare to any other color kettles. But I do love my blacks. I scored 4 black kettles in a row not too long ago. 26",  Euro otk, otp, and 3 wheeler 18"s.

I love them all but the Greens are my favorite as my user name suggest. I scored one more green this week.

Few of my Green pic from last year. I got lot more Green now. Just don't have pic of them all.
