Favorite color on 500 Type telephone/best looking

[WesternElectricBen]

Hello,

I was wondering what you guys like color wise on your 500s, I'm not talking about your princesses, 2500's etc. Your 500's.

It could be your personal favorite color, or maybe what you think looks best/coordinates. I am interested in knowing.

Thanks for participating! And please tell me if I miss a color.

I don't think anyone can decide. I know I can't. Even the less glamorous colors look good. At the moment, I'll go with red.

I like avacado green and aqua blue the most.

The mahogany Brown looks great in person. It is different than the later browns. The problem with the mahogany brown is that it doesn't photograph well.

Oh really I don't own any brown phones so I wouldn't know.

Funny how dark blue is the most popular here, when originally it was probably one of the least popular.  That is why they are worth so much now.  If it had been popular back in the day, there would be dark blue phones everywhere (like beige or light blue), and they would not be worth as much

I didn't realize how good Oxford Gray can look in person, but it's really kind of striking and it's rarely seen.

I agree I don't the then dark blue looks the best though I see why other people like it..

I voted for Med Blue but Oxford Grey and Mahogony are right up there, maybe because I can't get my hands on one.

My favorite 500 that I own though is my Black P/U 500, gotta love those mushrooms!

Like the Oxford grey the best, but the Mahogany Brown is cool because it looks like melted chocolate

Med Blue, Oxford Grey, and Mohagony  Brown.  Common colors Red, Aqua, and Yellow....

My first thought was Mediterranean Blue but looking at my shelves I have six variations of Red so my favorite must be Red.  It's funny though because the last color of car that I would buy would be Red even though it's one of the most popular colors.  But I like 'em all.........

I agree, I like Mediterranean blue but on the way my med. blue phone is discolored it just looks ugly.
