Deep red and navy blue are my favorites. I've got a Bee Vac G with a red bag and brass accents, looks beautiful. I'll get a pic in a few.

Green and black. But I also really dig into grey as well.

I like Hunter Green or Deep Red. I also like Ice White, but it doesn't tend to age well, since it shows scratches and dirt, and might yellow with age.

Impossible to pick just one...

I really like the turquoise blue on the Electrolux model G and the Hoover U-4423. I also really like the gold on the Hoover senior U-4014 and the Electrolux super J. The green of the Kirby Dual Sanitronic 80 and the red of the Classic III is very charming as well. Or, the simple black on the Eureka the boss machines. I could go on all day.

I actually like the pearl white of many Miele and Sebo cleaners. Other than that, the beige that Eureka used in the early 1970’s, or the powder blue they used for one of the Express canister models.

I can't say that I have any one color that I like the best but I love the teal of the Electrolux 1205, of which I have two but I'm also very fond of the Silverado's gray color scheme and speaking of gray, I love the gray and orange of the Kirby Heritage as well as the Sentria.

My C3 Alize

 My favorite color is the petrol on my C3 Alize. It’s a nice mix of emerald and turquoise. I liked the color so much that I bought the vacuum and purchased the electric wand, hose, and brush separately instead of buying a Miele C3 with the electric brush included. Gold print on the machine would have put it over the top.

I do have a soft spot for the Felix Classic though. The nice mix of cream on brown with the plaid filter pattern takes me back to 1983: ET, Mr. Mom, a great time to be alive!

I'm partial to the cream colored C3 Alize. Gives it a vintage/classic look.

I also love that Miele "Petroleum" green! My friend bought a C3 in that colour.....it's gorgeous! Just wish they would have given it another name...like someone posted the name Emerald...the connotation is so much better and appropriate...

One color I forgot to mention in my post above--and which is my favorite of all--is polished aluminum! I just can't get enough of that shiny stuff.

As for what looks best on a vacuum, I'd probably say a gloss beige for plastic vacuums and polished metal for metal ones. Maybe I watch too much LGR.

For my favourite colour that I've seen on a vacuum - the green that Hoover used on the Dimension. I just got a '97 today and the colour is positively gorgeous! I'm not sure if it has a name or not - before today I didn't even know vacuums had different colour options like cars do!

Air-Way called this shade "Purple Haze". Along with black and buffed aluminum/chrome, the Signature Series is gorgeous.

I’ve noticed

 Some manufacturers offer their vacs in different colors. Shark sells the rocket in multiple colors and on qvc you could pick the color. I also see Miele offers the same model in a few colors.

I always liked that manufacturers would make vacs in different colors.

Style is another thing… I like the Hoover platinum series for nice styling and I think the coloring they used to accompany the styling is very nice.

I just saw a bagless Bissell today in a thrift store. It didn’t look too old at all. It was a very nice deep maroon metallic and silver in color. It looked expensive in those colors and I comcidered buying it for my niece who seems to go through a vacuum a year.

I liked a certain model Shark rocket because of its color and I bought it but didn’t unbox it for several months…well then the store changed models (Costco) which had better features I wanted though the color wasn’t as nice but I exchanged it anyway overlooking the not so nice color because the functionality of the newer model was much more enticing.

My favorite vacuum color is the blue on a Windsor Sensor or something like that. I also like red and gray together like on the crapy but colorful Dirt Devil Dash.

Blue, definitely

I also like the tan 'lux model Gs, but for me, the teal 1205 and L are at the top. That color reminds me of a tiny lead pleisiosaur I had at about age 7. Lately I've grown very partial to the hammertone blue used on the Es and AEs. Waxed to a high shine, it's mighty pretty. I'd like it even more if it were the deeper shade of blue of the 'lux AE that's in rotation on our home page.  I have an original copy of the 1957 ad that image appeared in.  I bought the ad first and liked it so much that I bought an AE!

I always thought the rattlesnake paint scheme on my simplicity synergy was pretty nice, it was either metallic brown or metallic green depending on how you viewed it. Always loved the burgundy or Bordeaux on my Kirby G5

I always liked…

 When Electrolux introduced the Super J. It was at the height of the 70s glam era where harvest gold and gold decor was in and the coloring coincided with Golden anniversary of Electrolux. How fitting and fabulous! The metallic gold was really a beautiful machine I thought when my Grandmother got it replacing her teal 1205. It matched her decor so beautifully. Next favorite was the metallic brown with creamy tan accents of the Olympia. It just went well with appliances of the time. Harvest gold had run its course and Almond was now in with wood grain or brown control panels on most appliances of that age and the Olympia fit right in. My Aunt replaced her barely used teal Model L so it would match her house with the Olympia, she also had the Golden Jubilee her mother (my Grandmother) bought. With gold and cream decor and lots of brown beautifully stained hardwoods wide baseboards and varnished doors and staircases the Olympia fit in just as well as the Golden Jubilee.

I also enjoyed the Electrolux Silverado’s coloring but I feel like it was ahead of it’s time but I know it was made for the silver anniversary. It would be more fitting today with all of the stainless steel appliances and I’ve noticed that small countertop appliances are starting to change to stainless steel and medium gray instead of stainless steel and black. The new dark stainless is rather luxurious as well and a Silverado has that general look to it.

The Refurbished Electrolux model G’s in Silverado hammer gray with gray trim look beautiful with the polished aluminum front and back ends.

But overall I really do like the overall styling and coloring of the Electrolux Golden Jubilees/Super J’s, Olympia’s and Silverado’s. The main body color combined with the trim color and accented with the bright mirror chrome top really says “I’m the Cadillac of vacuum cleaners” amd they are all just so aesthetically pleasing to the eye!
