- KitchenAid’s Color of the Year for 2025 is a yellow hue called butter
- KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer is available in the color that starts today
- Butter follows a general trend for kitchen appliances in hot, soft colors
KitchenAid has revealed its color of the year for 2025, and if you are something like me, it will make you want to reinforce the entire kitchen. Butter is a soft shade of daffodil yellow with a creamy satin finish – and it looks good enough to eat.
Want to spread butter in your kitchen? This color of KitchenAid’s Artisan Stand Mixer (as shown in shows such as The great British bake off) is available now, price for $ 499.99 (about £ 400 / AU $ 800) direct from KitchenAid.
KitchenAid’s official color of 2024 was the Pearlescent Shade Blue Salt, while the color of 2023 was the pink hibiscus (very similar to Pantone’s color the same year, Viva Magenta).
Butter and brass
Butter follows the recent trend for warm, natural colors in kitchen equipment that marks a break from sharp black, white and chrome. For example, KitchenAid revealed the amazing (but surprisingly controversial) design series Evergreen Stand Mixer, which went against the grain with a broody green body and real walnut wood.
Some bakers were worried that the tree to be washed and oiled to keep it in good condition would prove impractical of tasks such as whipping eggs. However, tests in the real world proved that this was not the case and it worked as well as a metal bowl for everyday mix.
In January, KitchenAid also announced that its full selection of espresso manufacturers is now available in Warm Porcelain White, and Breville launched a new collection of kitchen appliances with brass details rather than stainless steel. The brass accents series includes a new version of the company’s best espresso machine, Barista Touch Impress, available in Navy, Olive Green and Off-White.
