None of the handles has had the correct color. The
closest I got
was a wierd pinkish apricot color, when what I was shooting for
was something between terra-cotta and pumpkin. No two batches of
plastic were close to the same color.
In plastics engineering, color matching is one of the biggest problems
around. There is a reason why Rubbermaid offers their containers in so
many colors.
Also, this is a looooong shot, but would somebody be willing to
contact HP to see if the molds are still around? For some reason, I
have found that companies tend to hold onto obsolete molds as if they
were gold, but for no reason. When asked, often the answer is "well, I
dunno...too nice to throw out...".
