This is a Maxis Recolour which means that it is a recolour of an item that already exists in your game. Please check the Expansion pack requirements to see which game pack it recolours.

This custom content if it is not clothing, may require a seperate download to work properly. This is available at Colour Enable Package (CEP) by Numenor.

Here is a set of vivid colours, I'll look into doing some more recolours tomorrow - perhaps dark colours, brighter white and black. We'll see how they turn out.

Remember, you have to use the design tool to recolour the handset. Otherwise, that will stay beige.

Enjoy the rainbow!

Thank you! It's so funny because I was just furnishing a house and thinking about how ugly and dingy the regular phone colors look in a super nice house lol these are perfect!

Glad you like then - and that is what prompted these and the ones here - http://www.modthesims2.com/showthread.php?t=102751

I was making all these fancy houses with custom recolours and realized the phones were so dull.

the little icon in your control panel in buy mode that looks like a swatch of material
click on it then go to the item ingame you want to change the decor of, in this case the phone handset, an option box should appear thhan you can make your choice and click on the tick circle to accept

And if you have trouble clicking on the handset, have a sim use the phone, pause, go to the design tool, and click on it while the sim is on the phone.

That didn't work for me. I tried your recolors and the ones by specialK. The handset is not designable before, during, or after a sim uses the phone. Even in the thumbnails in Buy Mode they are all beige. It's nice to have the base in different colors, but it does look odd with the beige handset.
