They did, indeed. And GE offered not only pink, but yellow, turquoise, and
cocoa. GE also coordinated their appliances with Youngstown cabinets for
matching colors, and with Kohler for matching sink colors.

My first apartment was outfitted in GE turquoise appliances...fridge,
cooktop, built-in oven, turquoise Youngstown cabinets, and Kohler turquoise
sink. Not too terrible, until you realized that the builder had combined
all of this with pink Formica patterned countertops and a brown linoleum
floor. The apartment complex had been built in the late 1950s.
