harvest gold

Retro appliance shade

Harvest gold is a muted yellow-orange color popular in American home décor and appliances during the 1970s.

Along with avocado green and burnt orange, it defined the earthy, warm palette of that era, appearing on refrigerators, stoves, shag carpets, and kitchen countertops.

The color evokes ripe wheat fields ready for harvesting.

Today harvest gold signals either nostalgic retro styling or a kitchen that hasn't been updated in decades.
