Greetings grayling!
I was browsing through some of my Airstream documents and found reference to early 1960s Airstreams with either a pink or an aqua-marine-blue. Those documents sparked my memory of the 1998 WBCCI International Rally (it could possibly have been the 1999) where one of the
1961 Bambis had the pink color scheme . . . it had a pink (think Mary Kay pink) front on the refrigerator, a pink cooktop and a pink porcelain sink . . . I believe that the porcelain on the toilet was pink, but I am less certain on this point. The Formica on the countertops and the drop leaf dining table was on off-white with tan flecks. Drapes were off-white and the upholstery was a medium tan tweed. The floor tile was off-white with gold flecks (I don't believe that the floor tile was original). I have never actually seen a Bambi with the Aqua-Marine color scheme, but in the larger trailers it usually included an aqua-marine refrigerator, range/oven, and sometimes a porcelain sink.
I think that you will find that most enthusiasts don't get overly concerned with the color scheme. My theory with my coaches has been that the original cabinetry and fixtures are worth maintaining . . . but I have chosen color schemes that aren't necessarily period correct. My Overlander's antique pewter color scheme has little relationship to what was popular in
1964, but features such as the comfort panels next to the bed were maintained with an upholstery to match my new color scheme. My original bathroom fixtures were professionally refinished in antique pewter (replacing the avocado green. I maintained the beige quilted ceiling upholstery in the bedroom and the light brown range/oven as they came from the factory.
I am enjoying following your planning thread for your Bambi's future. I am sure that you are going to have many years of memories with the coach!
