Interesting little GE

[jr_tech]

While we are still on the subject of the turquoise/white GE 14" set, I have a question about the color scheme on the little 9" version that I posted above.



The paint on the side panels does not match the front plastic piece very well, with the front plastic being more like "seafoam green" than turquoise. The paint inside the cabinet appears to be the same color as that on the outside, so there is no evidence that the outside paint has faded. Likewise, the knobs and front bezel appear to be fairly uniform in color, with only the slightest hint that the parts may have "yellowed" slightly in sunlight.

Any ideas... Bad factory match? Deliberate 3 color scheme? Chemical aging?

just curious,
