They used to be white, but they turned orange. Some people like the orange look, others don’t.You don't have fun by winning. You win by having fun.Comment

1.They were a common form of imitation ivory for a few decades. 2. They turned orange ( I call it “Pumpkin Spice”) with time and exposure to the air. 3. They release toxic chemicals if you sand, polish, scrape or otherwise trim them, so best to leave them alone or replace them with newer, more environmentally friendly materials.Slainte Leibh/ Slan Leat, Bob CameronComment

It's funny how perspectives change over the decades.
I started in the 1970s, and most players had pipes with catalin mounts. More often than not ex army Hardies. Faded to yellow, the colour of a school bus.
The really new players had pipes with brilliant white shiny mounts....it was a sure sign you were a newbie!
To be avoided of course...Comment

Here is some information Catalin Definition - Glossary of Common Jewelry Terms - Joseph Jewelry Guide | Joseph Jewelry Bellevue Seattle Custom Jewelry
Catalin was common for jewellery and household products, it was in no way specific to bagpipes.
