I am not a fan of pink phones, but I like beige phones even less.  My wife is a different story however, so I have been monitoring eBAy for a pink Buy-It-Now bargain.  I have noticed that a high percentage of "pink" phones are really beige.  Many also seem to have a 'NO RETURN" policy. Hmmmm.

Yeah I've noticed that as well, they say "pink" and it's really a dirty beige that's been darkened over time.   You could always paint it.   ;D

In a similar vein, there's a "rare light beige" up for auction right now.  Don't let yourself be confused by the fact that it's original cords are obviously white

I asked the seller if the phone wasn't actually beige.  Here is his reply:

Hello,

The phone is actually pink. It is a very light shade of pink.

You know who is going to buy those phones?........................NOBODY!  :)  Not for $15 plus $30 to ship them.  All of that California sun has faded both of those phones.  The color code on the back side of the dial MIGHT tell us what the real color is/was.
