KitchenAid’s Colour of the Year is here – and it might be my favourite yet

Finally! KitchenAid is back with its 2026 Colour of the Year, marking its eighth consecutive year to uphold this colourful tradition. For 2026, KitchenAid is sticking to bright colours and adding a refreshing minty shade to its iconic stand mixer – and it might be my favourite colour so far.

KitchenAid often comes out with a new colourway to mark the new year, and in fact, has done so for the past eight years. In 2025, it was butter yellow, while 2024 was blue salt, and 2023 was a bold hibiscus pink. All colours brought some much needed brightness to many kitchens and made a break away from neutral kitchen trends.

Following the announcement of the Pantone Colour of the Year for 2026, I was left feeling underwhelmed – as were many by the neutral white ‘Cloud Dancer’ shade – so I was looking forward to finding out what new colour KitchenAid would be focusing on this year.

And KitchenAid definitely didn’t disappoint. For 2026, KitchenAid is all about Spearmint, a new mint green shade that’s refreshing and light. As always, the new Spearmint colour is only available on the KitchenAid Artisan Tilt-Head 4.7L Stand Mixer, although I hope it’s a colour that becomes a permanent fixture in KitchenAid’s colour palette and is added to more of its product collections.

Aside from the new green colour, the main body of the KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer also has a sandy finish to add more texture to the bestselling stand mixer. Aside from the new colour, the mixer stays exactly the same, and still comes with an array of attachments, including beaters, whisks and dough hooks.

The KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer in Spearmint is available to buy now for £699 at KitchenAid.
