KitchenAid Colourolgy #Giveaway

*Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.*

I suppose you can file this one under “weird obsessions” – I am OBSESSED with having a white and green kitchen. In fact, we’ve been actively house hunting for the last, oh, six months or so – but I’m always hung up over the kitchens. If I can’t turn it into a white and green kitchen at a reasonable price, I start to waffle. It’s a curse, really.

My inspiration:

Now I don’t think I’d be as brave as to go full-on green; I’d likely stick to white cupboards with pistachio green accents, such as a backsplash, counter accessories and perhaps even table decor. Oh, and a big ol’ KitchenAid Artisan Series Stand Mixer in Pistachio Green, of course. Can you spot it below? Totally photoshopped that baby.

What’s your colour? Visit KitchenAid Colourology and find out which hue matches your personality best. With 26 shades to select from – including Tangerine, Crystal Blue and Empire Red – you can take their word for it, or lust after your favourite gorgeous colour.

As for me – I took the quiz twice, and both times it pointed to Pistachio Green. A match made in mixer heaven! And just like that, look what showed up on my doorstep last night…

T’was meant to be, obviously! Now I just have to find the white kitchen and 3000 square foot home to match. In the meantime, I’m one-step closer to my dream thanks to KitchenAid’s impeccable taste in stand mixer shades.

  17. I got “White”! A blank canvas for creating! (I really like the boysenberry one though or the Ice Blue!)

  31. Ooooh, I want one of these babies so badly! I love baking, but hate hand mixing. I also love the amazing selection of cute colours!
    I got Crystal Blue on the quiz!
    Thanks for the chance to win! :)

  43. Your kitchen is awesome! Mine, too is green and white! (Looks about half the size of yours! lol) I have been flirting with the yellow coloured mixers, wondering which one would go best with my sagey green!

    Thanks for this opportunity!

  54. OMG I’ve always wanted one of these! I use my mom’s all the time, mostly for the meat grinder and ice cream maker – I just LOVE the accessories!! I did the colour test and got Buttercup – a really pretty, warm colour. It would nice in my kitchen. But my favourite is Cobalt Blue. Like you, I am colour specific in my kitchen. Yellows and blues are my favourites, and this gorgeous deep blue would look amazing against my backsplash. I love your pistachio one, btw!

  55. My color is: Blue Willow, and I love love love the color Blue in all its various shades, though I tend to lean towards the darker/royal blues. This quiz is so much fun, and it was neat seeing how the Colourology page changes per question. It’s so cool to see someone else as passionate about a KitchenAid as I am; it has been on my Christmas wish list for so long but I’ve held off. Thank you for the chance to win this fabulous prize, it would be a dream come true!

  56. I got Empire Red… and that would be the colour I would buy… that or Onyx Black! Love this mixer, and it would make a great addition to my other small kitchen appliances!

  89. Boysenberry, apple green, or pear would match my kitchen, but honestly I just love the entire RANGE of colours!

  98. I have been dreaming about owning a yellow Kitchen Aid Standing Mixer for years! I just took the quiz and no word of a lie Buttercup Yellow is my colour! Now I really need to get one!

  103. Color me unadventurous — but I love Silver Metallic. And then Metallic Chrome. Yes, I’m exciting that way! Lol.

  105. Burnt Orange is my colour!!! An absolute must-have to accomplish my baking. A second one will help with big batches.

  114. In my home there is unmistakeable theme of two earthtones – Burgundy & Rose. So after the quiz was completed – selection was Boysenberry. Somehow not suprised *giggle*

  122. I got the Onyx Black which would go very well with our redecorating we have planned. Were going for a crisp modern style with greys, blacks and bright colour accents here and there (accent wall) vases, wall art ect! Love your choice of colours that colour green is such a peaceful and rejuvenating colour. Your soon to be kitchen of your dreams will be such a relaxing spot to create new and exciting dishes using your new KitchenAid mixer!

  149. Eeek I’ve always wanted one of these – and my bf probably doesn’t even know what a mixer looks like so I doubt it will be under the tree this year!

  150. i got boysenberry which is in the purple family… definitely don’t like purple… but i love kitchen aide, so any colour will be a favourite!!

  159. Blue willow… I already have a green (apple green) and white kitchen though, so not sure if the blue would go :) Might have to renovate if I win, haha!

  175. wow! Lena what an awesome giveaway! Yayy!!! I’ve wanted one of these forever! maybe now I will be able to make stuff on my own rather than having to pay a visit to my mother’s to be able to use hers (love the quality time we get, but still want my own lol) Thanks girl! wish me luck ;) <3

  188. PERSIMMON
    This shade may feel retro, but it’s definitely not ironic. Both creative and energetic, Persimmon can work with any interior. It’s that needed pop of colour against a white splashboard, or the bow that ties together your natural wood cabinets.

  198. PEAR

    There is something so fresh and pure about Pear, you’d want to eat it. Naturally gifted, it brightens up any space, making any white, marble or steel countertop a little tastier.

    BUT I WANT THE APPLE GREEN – no matter what the quizz says :-)

  242. Blue Willow, which is very fitting. You dream of a white and green kitchen, I dream of a white and navy one.

  245. My selected colour is Tangerine! Probably would not have been my first choice but I’d glady accept one in any colour!! Good luck to everyone!

  257. Empire Red, nice and flashy. Although, I’ve wanted one of these for so long, I’m not thaaaaat picky.

  286. I took the test three times, and I got a different one every time – Tangerine, then Red, then buttercup. =p

  324. Of all the colors, I got white! Haha, but I looooovvvvveeee white everything, so it suits me. All of the colors are incredible though.

  327. Just about flipped when I saw your dream kitchens. Mine is white with green. My quiz also resulted in pistachio. I already have the toaster to match. Have always wanted one of these mixers. Thanks for sharing.

  334. The colour that was chosen for me by the Kitchenaid Colourology quiz was Boysenberry. I love the colour and it couldn’t have selected a better colour. Thanks.

  339. Since I just got my dream white kitchen I would want the Empire Red color KitchenAid mixer to go with it. Red is my accent color…I have an Empire red tea pot and honey jar…this would be a perfect addition. I’ve been dreaming of owning my own KitchenAid for years!!

  349. Ugh! I was told- WHITE was the color….totally shocked, as our kitchen is orange, bathroom, blue and other rooms taupe and purple…White? I would love a red one! Ah dreamming now.

  389. You should definitely go green ;) it’s a great colour. And you have a mixer to match it too!

    I’m definitely a Boysenberry kinda gal. It’s my fave colour.

  396. Cornflower blue! Crazy that I got picked for that, half my house is cornflower-y. I also really like the Empire red and the boysenberry!

  397. Mine said Majestic Yellow, or Buttercup, but that’s probably the last colours I’d pick. If I had the right kitchen, I’d go with Apple Green or Tangerine or even Ice Blue.

  411. I like plain ordinary white… it’s clean and would match all my other appliances in the kitchen. Other colors are very pretty, but if it doesn’t match anything then it stands out of place.

  422. ALMOND CREAM

    With its warm undertones and subtle charm, Almond Cream is reminiscent of those summers spent baking with Grandma. Just like those days playing mother’s little helper, this shade makes a counter feel cozy and your space inviting.

    EMPIRE RED

    Some like it hot, and this shade drips with desire. Drawn to those who are confident, Empire Red is not for the faint of heart, as its beauty harnesses the wandering eye. Placed on white, marble or stainless steel, this hue brings the passion.

    BUTTERCUP

    It’s not just yellow. It’s the feeling of warmth that comes from biting into a freshly baked cookie, still soft on the inside. Buttercup is found in homes where meals are made from the heart. Kind and vibrant, it makes any kitchen cozy.

    Any of these would look wonderful in my kitchen!!!

  428. I’m Empire Red but if my kitchen looked like the ones in the pictures, I would go with Pistachio Green.

  430. Onyx Black.. however I would kill for a whole shelf of colorful ones.. I’m loving Tangerine, Green Apple and Ice blue. It’s kitchen porn to me..

    • Hi Maria! I e-mailed the winner and she asked that I refrain from announcing her name publicly as she will be gifting it to her mom for Christmas, who is also a reader of my blog! I’ll be updating my fan page tomorrow to let everyone know. Was going to post today, but in lieu of the tragedy in Connecticut, will wait to update. Thanks!
