.
Even seen them wallpapered to 'match' the kitchen wall paper!
Another where the panel had been covered over with imitation wood grain
'MacTac'!
Both 'yuck'!

Our old one reverting to white has now lost both of the two two-sided
slide in panels that originally came with it. Gee never thought about
but that means the d.washer must be at least 25 years old!

IIRC the four alternative colour choices were, Harvest Gold, Avocado
Green, a sort of cream/off white and ???? . And of course the white of
the underlying front panel of the door. Five colours in all?
It would be very easy to obtain a thin stainless steel panel of the
same size and slip it in!

Not that I'll bother with a machine that age! It roars into life a
couple of times a week and even minus the upper spray arm, removed to
give more height clearance when we were running a small catering
outfit, over ten years ago now, it washes fine. Only had to repair it
two three times over the years.

Hey, my great great grandparents had a wood dishwasher. This was
before electricity so it was powered by a coal fire and steam.

I've got harvest gold! I like it. I don't think the stove will ever
break, but if the refrigerator breaks, I'll have to get a new stove,
and change the color of the dishwasher. And I usually forget the
range hood. Maybe I can just take that out and paint it. Heck, I'll
paint the stove too.

In Brooklyn NY, I found a clothes washer in the trash, and the white
paint was chipped or rusty, and I used white epoxee spray paint**, and
it was as if it had been painted at the factory. It was a beautiful
matching finish, and it didn't wear or chip in the 5 years I had the
thing. I really couldn't believe how nice it was.

**It was only the top part. I must have removed it and taken it
outside.
