If you mean grey, yes. It was one of the 3 base colors offered. Any book on vintage Knoll furniture will confirm that.

I have an almond one like Mark's but it tastes like squrl.

Someone repainted it badly with white but a lot of the original color showing through, and at first I thought the original color was the new(er) color. Then I looked at it closely and discovered it was the reverse. Luckily for me, the white paint came off easily without any damage to the original.

So, almond brothers (one of which is not a brother at all . . . Oddly enough once pointed out to me by the other almond brother) . . .

Mine seems darker. Is it almond, grey, or neon green?

I detect coconut . . . and chocolate . . . and something kind of nutty.

HI.

I found another almond tulip in Mr. Choppers bathroom. Tastes like twang. Yup. Buried under towels.

It spins, too!

HI.
