Supposedly the only two colors for appliances that never go out of
'style' are white and black.


Who gives a rat's ass about style? As long as they work, aren't a PITA
to keep clean, and won't blow up the house, what else matters? I suppose
it is nice if they are all more or less the same color, but that is
hardly a show-stopper.


If your kitchen is full of visitors, they are there because they want to
see you, not because your cabinets and appliances are impressive. *In an
hour, most won't even remember what your kitchen looks like.

Heh heh! All granite is radio-active to various extents in common with
all igneous rocks. After all, it came out of a nuclear furnace.
There are cities ove rhere where most buildingsare granite. There are
signifcantly more cases of cancer in someof these places.
