Such a shame that companies don't do this anymore.
Back in the '60s and '70s, we had much more COLOR in the world, in everything from our vacuums to our clothes to our cars. Everything for the past 20 or so years has been black, white, grey, and/or some muted blue or burgundy (rarely *RED*). Look at street photos from the '50s and '60s and you see a veritable rainbow of car colors: PINK ... COPPER ... ORANGE ... AQUA ... GREEN. Today, cars come in black, white, and eight shades of grey and beige. PFFFBBBBTT!!! And our dearth of color extends into all aspects of our lives. As for vacuums ... regardless of make or model, can you honestly imagine any manufacturer offering a vacuum with the bright colors and patterns that the Hoovers once offered? |

There are also quite a few colors that were exclusive to certain "big box" retailers, for I see in the list such names as "Penney Blue" and "Sears Avocado."
I don't know if "Regina White" has anything to do with the competing vacuum manufacturer or if it has to do with the capital city of the province of Saskatchewan, Canada. ~Ben |

Yes, please do. Any other corrections besides color are welcome, too. |
