Kitchen Aid mixers

If you've been eyeing a new stand mixer, you'll want to pay attention to the latest press release from KitchenAid. The company has announced that it is adding four new colors to its already expansive palette of 86 available selections. All four are debuting in the increasingly popular matte finish. 

First up is Avocado Cream. If that conjures images of the 1970s, know that this is not your mother's avocado green. The new color "offers an earthy yet contemporary approach to a more traditional pastel hue, perfect for natural kitchen finishes and countertops," according to KitchenAid. Avocado Cream will be available on the Artisan Mini stand mixers.  The second food-themed color, Milkshake, is a warm off-white and will be available on the Artisan Series 5 Quart stand mixer and Pro 600 Series 6 Quart. 

The new deep tones, Black Violet and  Ink Blue, will also be available on the Artisan Series 5 Quart mixers. The deep purple of the former is a toned-down take on the brighter purple stand mixer colors currently available. Ink Blue is a trendy neutral that isn't quite as stark as Matte Black but still blends in to nearly any decor. The matte finishes are also finding their way to other KitchenAid countertop appliances.
