What color are your small appliances, cookware and your kitchen accent colors?

My stuff doesn't match. I have one mixer in purple and another mixer that is a pale cream yellow. My food processor is steel and my Vitamix is black.

Kitchén is white. I try for red appliances if I can get them. I'm not to picky about having everything match. My fridge is no fingerprint charcoal, the stove and dishwasher are white. When they die they will be replaced with black. Cookware doesn't matter.

White....won't buy a kitchen appliance, large or small, unless it's available in white....cookware is stainless Revereware from the '70's....no accent colors....my kitchen is strictly functional...will never be featured in a magazine!  Don't think my children will be fighting over anything in my kitchen after I'm gone!!

Most of mine are turquoise but no two are the same shade.

I HAVE SO MANY COLORS, I DID GET THE 9 CUP KA FOOD PROCESSOR WHEN IT CAME OUT WITH A WATERMELON COLOR, SO PRETTY BUT THEY DON'T OFFER IT ANYMORE.

My kitchen is decorated in shades of browns , beige & creams. My trim paint and appliances are white. The only small appliances sitting out are my kitchen aide mixer and coffee maker and they are both white.My cabinets are a medium brown shade. Floor white. To add color I have some colorful pictures in the eating area and I use brightly colored placemats & napkins and hang colorful towels. My kitchen table & chairs are white except the table top is wood and the seats I upholstered in turquoise blue to add some color. Little things like the spoon rest , salt & pepper shakers, teapot & breadbox are all Temptations floral lace in the turquoise color, I believe they call it aqua - but it is definitely turquoise to my eye.

My KA mixer is white but lately I've been buying SS for my small appliances, toaster, coffee pot. My cookware is Caphalon HA which is always in drawers.

 

Nothing is out on my counters because I have limited counter space in a galley kitchen.

My stove and fridge are white. And I keep no small appliances out except for my KA mixer which is an almond color (a gift from my mom for my wedding many years ago). Some day I'd like to change my appliances to almond or beige if I do a kitchen remodel. 

 

Oh, my microwave is white too. 

 

My goal is to have a very neutral kitchen, because I change my dinnerware/bakeware out about 4 times a year and I want a neutral backdrop so I can display those things. I go from Temp-tations Floral Lace blue this time of year, to Temp-tations Old World Fireworkfetti mixed with FL firework mid summer, to OW harvest (some years just OW spice) for the fall, then into Better Homes and Gardens winter dishes mixed with Temp-tations Poinsettia. I have a set of unique snowman dishes and accessories from Kohls a number of years ago that are based in browns, tans and burgundy for winter, with FL brown in the diningroom and kitchen also for winter. 

 

All that changing of displays requires a neutral backdrop. My goal is to be able to use and display any dishes/towels/ serving pieces that catch my fancy, without worring about my kitchen having a 'color' that has to be worked around. So white and ivory and tans/browns do that for me.
