I have a pink one too. I had a cream colored Touch-Tone version made in the 1980s that I gave away because I wanted to stick with rotary dials.
Most of mine need to be repainted. There's a tough paint that comes in all of the original Western Electric colors that the phone company used to refurbish phones before installing them for new customers. It's basically like putting a fresh layer of plastic on a phone. The paint is very expensive, so I wouldn't buy it myself. I met a guy who collects Ericson phones online who will paint a batch of phones for other people if he can get enough phones of the same color in a batch to make it cost effective.
