I once had a 1974 AMC Matador that was exactly that color. If I had known it was so closely related to the universe, I would have ept it......Z

That lends cosmic significance to all that old 50's kitchen decor.

Interesting, As the apple turns did something on it a few days back. Most noteably because of the relitve closeness to the shade of the orginal iMac. If ATATs is right, then maybe steve jobs if from another planet.
