WHAT?!?...
NO PURPLE?
Yellow looks like Nicotine and the the baby blue looks like a bad die job. Would be BEEEYOUTEEFUL next to a WHITE LCW.

White is problematic
These Bubble Lamps have always been fragile, both in construction and color. In a non-sterile home environment, they're hard to keep pure white and if you try cleaning them, you run the risk of getting a hole.
I actually would prefer them to be an off-white color (that's probably why beiges and tans are so popular). I see nothing wrong with the yellow or light blue. Nelson Associates (like the Eameses) were always flexable.
Think of Eva Zeisel when she got the contract from Hall to produce "Tomorrow's Classic" dinnerware. It was Hall, not she, that decided that besides white, patterns were required to be designed. She said OK and had her students come up with patterns. From today's view, some of the patterns are cool and some are downlight silly and kinda ugly. She was pragmatic about the patterns.
Neither of the two colors being introduced by Modernica was "abominations"....let's be honest,
