	Subject - Does anybody install Ivory Devices? Romex Racer I can't remember the last time I installed ivory devices, maybe 25 years ago. Everything seems to be white these days. I have never stocked ivory devices, only white. How 'bout you? Scott Vickrey I put a bunch in today. I wish they would only sell one or the other but, that's never going to happen. LK Ivory, white in kitchens, and bath, when we need white, they are not always in stock at the supply house, ivory is the larger stock item. Electricman We stock both in our shop, We made the big jump to white only a year ago. Ivory was always the standard in these parts of the world but lately everythings going white. We have also done some light almond, once we did a house with ivory devices and brown plates. stedder I'm doing an ivory right now, had an ivory bath a couple of days ago an ivory house last year, I think because people are starting to get back to some paint colors that are conducive to ivory, last year I finished a brown device with unfinished solid brass, looked real nice, yea we still gotta stock iv and wh. kbsparky We have to keep Ivory, Almond, and White devices on hand. One never knows which color one will need when doing residential service work. Ever cut in a receptacle on a kitchen cabinet? If the cabinet is natural wood color, such as birch or oak, ivory devices look better than white ones. Light colored cabinets or off-white painted surfaces look better with (light)almond devices and plates. We also keep a limited number of brown devices as well. We use `em in places like attics, crawl spaces, disconnects on units, etc. as well as on dark paneled walls lctrc789 Ivory , white, brown are common for us. How about special order green, black,pink, and even lavender in custom homes, Yes we have had many of them. especially the very simple minded folks who want green in a golf room and green carpet. lol electricbill even tougher to disern almond and ivory...seen ivory outlet with almond cover and vise-a versa frenchelectrician most common colour i stock is Light Almond , Ivroy , hand full of brown and tons of white but in commercal just dont laugh but i do stock grey devices anyway and with outdoor in use cover if the materal is grey i use the grey repectaile it do match the colour nice [ once a while a supply centre will give me price break on slow oddball colour that i can use it work nice] merci , Marc Wirenutz www.lutron.com/satincolors touts 27 colors.... eleccon I do a lot of cabins and ivory looks better than white on wood, so I would say maybe 25% but mostly decora ivory.
