Is color of generator important?

Hi!!



For the past few months I have worked for power generation industry as an analyst. What I observed was that a lot of people are getting influnced by the color of the generator. To find out how color of the genset is related to the brand of the company, I have created a study which is available on the following link:

I invite all who are interested in generators to participate in this study. You can help me make my study better.


Cheers to all!!!

Are you serious??? I should hope that the people making the decisions are influenced by the performance of the gen-set rather than the colour. Paint is cheap if you don't like the colour and, if it is a large enough unit, I a, sure that the manufacturer would substitute puce for the usual grey or green. In fact, industrial colour selection (coding) for industry equipment is a well established "science". --

This is a prime example of why I am suspicious of all survey data.

Unfortunately, in my direct experience, the color is of extreme importance beyond any other consideration to a clueless manager. I had one inflate the cost of install by thousands by insisting the placement be moved to the opposite side of the building from the switchgear.

I dunno! Orange seems to sell well at the Home Despot. ;-)

Too bad the invisible paint never caught on. The room would look empty, till something went wrong. ;-)

That was our school color! The cheerleaders uniforms looked great!

But the football team wasn't so hot. What was your school mascot, an emperor?
