What is your Favorite Vintage Genesis Grill lid color

[Bruce]

We are trying to find out the most popular lid colors on the vintage (Pre 2007) Genesis gas grill lids. I am using this lid color chart and adding Grey, Burnt Orange and Stainless to the list. I had to combine some of the color variations due to a limit on the number of poll choices available.
Here is the chart with examples of most of the color choices. Feel free to add comments after making your poll choice.

Is just me or does the older lids get darker when it gets hotter? I could swear that my Red gets darker when it gets hotter.

They sure do!

Eesh a thread like this makes me want to collect all the colors! The blue lid is sweet agreed!

 

[Bruce]

Red is surging into the first turn.

 

[Richard in NS]

If black was surging we know it would “Fade” in the end.

 

[Bruce]

It actually is surging a bit. We just have to hope the inevitable fade at the end isn't too bad.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Burnt Orange. That sounds pretty cool.

 

[Ed P]

Bruce, you have an early "Mica" blue, right? Is it the same blue as this blue lid with the AF logo?

 

[Bruce]

Yah, my lid looks pretty close to that color. But, I would consider it more dark blue....????

 

[Bruce]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the Burnt Orange. That sounds pretty cool.

I have one tucked away in my storage shed. Only one I have ever seen. I don't think it is the prettiest color, but definitely unique. So, I will probably keep it for my self rather than put it on a rehab/flip.

 

[Greg M]

Black for me. Mostly due to reasons of nostalgia.

 

[Bruce]

And Red has taken the lead halfway through corner one.

Would love to see a picture of it!

If I get out there for some reason yet this fall, I will try to dig it out. No promises.

Ok, thanks! I've changed my vote to blue...nice looking grill, Bruce!

It's all these color that drive the kettle collector people crazy. Weber had a lot of fun over the years with all kinds of colors. The revived Glen Blue is a good example, but they made others including some with a two-tone fade.

Regarding color change of porcelain: Yes, it DEFINITELY does that. Yellow is infamous for "blushing" but red does as well. Weber never did make a yellow gas grill except maybe some Q models. I wonder if anybody would go for that on a porcelain hood.

My Genesis Silver A bluetop is a shade darker it seems than the one Bruce has.

I am sure a yellow gasser would sell. Likewise a lime green one would too.
