Electrolux called it 'tan' - both the models L and G were painted the same color. Over time, the colors change. Very few Automatic E's are still the same color today as they were the day they were delivered.
Electrolux used to make their touch up spray paint available to their branch offices - I have two cans of "tan" which states it's for the models L and G as well as the CB (which came out with the tan models L and G as well). |

Hey Paul
Yes the Tan G (1967)was when the new style crevice tool was introduced in the US. However the same style had previously been used in Canada since the introduction of the 54/55/57 line in 1953 and in England with the introduction of the 62 in 1957. There was even a brush head made for these crevice tools in England (also sold as an optional accessory in Canada) Doug |

Why did the L have white body & either aqua or tan trim? I thought its supposed to be aqua or tan body & white trim like the more deluxe G. |

The first Model L came out April 1963. My father sold the first one in Indiana and they were White and seen in the 30 year anniversary book about Old Greenwich plant. |
