Do you know how hard it is to find a toilet in a color other than white? At least at Lowe's and Homely Depot? The son and I spent a good portion of the morning trying to find a replacement for one of our toilets that is leaking and making strange sounds. The color of the old pot is what American Standard (and others) refer to as "Bone". In most circles that is known as Beige.
As you may know, most toilets are sold in two pieces; the bowl and the tank. Well, Lowe's had a single model with a "Bone" bowl but no Bone tank. Home Depot didn't have any "Bone" colored pots, but did have a fairly nice Kohler in something called "Almond". (I wonder if have one in Pecan.) At least HD had both the bowl and tank in Almond. I guess you have to go to an upscale (read: expensive) toilet bowl retailer to get something other than white. Undoubtedly you can get colored potties on the web...but who wants to pay the shipping? We got the Almond Kohler.

Kev: I remember when COLOR was in and I had a chocolate brown toilet. Good grief! Anyway, it was rare for anyone to want or buy white. (Now all of ours are white). Bone is almond is beige is "off white", etc. Go figure.
