What era favored turquoise like this?

We are looking at 1950s decor here, not retro, but the genuine article.

This seems to have been the thing for kitchen appliances  at that time as well, although my mother had a pink stove and refrigerator for years. I think that had something to do with a "heck of a buy" on a double oven range and a huge bottom freezer in the frig. It was pretty exotic, nobody else's kitchen had pink appliances!
