These insulators embossed ZICME were hand made, and came in a great variety of colors because they made extensive use of glass cullet. The colors of these CD 154's rival or surpass the colors found in the CD 162 H.G.CO. signals! The colors included purples, turquoise, yellow, sapphire and cobalt blue, as well as shades of aqua and green.
