What’s Your Colour: KitchenAid Stand Mixer Giveaway!

Although I love my ever-present, practical rice cooker, it definitely doesn’t help beautify my kitchen. And let’s be honest, most countertop appliances are designed for functionality, not for aesthetics.

The KitchenAid Stand Mixer is one exception. A staple in most kitchens (especially in those that see a lot of baking), the stand mixer commands attention, in a pretty, statuesque way. And now, with twenty-six shades to choose from, it’s a way to add a pop of colour all while easing your prep work.

While browsing through the options is one way to find your favourite, KitchenAid has come up with a fun way to determine which Artisan Series Stand Mixer colour is you. Just answer six questions at www.KitchenAidColourology.ca and your shade will be revealed!

I did the quiz and was a bit surprised at the answer: crystal blue (I think I was hoping for empire red, which is the shade my Mum has). My profile reads: “Sometimes you just need that little extra sparkle to brighten your surroundings. Crystal Blue is the bling you wear with your favourite outfit for a night on the town. It’s that “something blue” that will make your kitchen glisten with style.”  Hm, maybe it’s telling me that I need a bit of a kitchen makeover!

Regardless, KitchenAid has kindly allowed me to give away a KitchenAid Stand Mixer on my blog. To enter, simply take the quiz and comment (with a valid e-mail) on which colour is chosen for you. Entries will be accepted until 11:59pm on October 9, 2012. I will contact the randomly chosen winner by e-mail by October 11, 2012. Only Canadian residents can enter.

Good luck!

    Majestic Yellow, but I did the quiz three times and got a different colour each time!

    Almond Cream. I was hoping for something with a little more pop, but I do lean toward classic and neutral…

  • Teresa

    Apparently I’m an Empire Red kinda gal ;) So many pretty colours~

  • Suk

    Crystal blue

  • Wirequeen

    I’m a “Blue” person so Crystal blue is perfect for me.

  • Jenn Gray

    Pear, and I’m impressed since that was defintely my first choice anyway!

    Ice blue! Thanks for the giveaway!

  • Linds Heigh

    Persimmon, hmmm it could be really really good!

  • Mona Poon

    I am raw, organic and natural…like a pear! I’m a pear colour kitchen aid mixer and I absolutely LOVE IT!!

  • Jon

    Cobalt blue for me! Great blog by the way.

  • Erin Blazey

    pistachio green….funny, my kitchen walls are pistachio/sage colour!

  • Erin Blazey

    pistachio green! my kitchen walls are kind of a pistachio colour….

  • Patricia Yanes

    Boysenberry! Young and trendy totally agree! Love this colour!

  • Karen

    I ended up being Majestic Yellow – when I thought I would be Cornflower or Ice Blue. But – looking at yellow feels pretty invigorating – which is how I like to feel in the kitchen! Plus the associated recipe for sweet corn and chanterelle chowder sounds awesome. AND it seems to be Chef Lynn’s colour too…

    Really though – ANY colour of Kitchenaid would be good.

  • Kristi

    I took the Color test and my color was:
    Crystal Blue !

    Although, I’m pretty sure my heart would tell me that the white or Almond is where it’s at :)
    I didn’t realize they had SO many colors!

    But Thank You for your Blog. My husband and I enjoy reading it and discovering new and tasty dishes and places throughout the city.

    Take Care (and in the mean time I’ll cross my fingers, buy a rabbits foot, find a four leaf clover and get a horse shoe ;) ),

  • Doug

    Boysenberry!?! I didn’t even know they made it in that colour. I was hoping for the Crystal Blue one that you got. Anyway, here’s what it says for Boysenberry?!!??!!

    As the saying goes, “life begins outside your comfort zone,” and Boysenberry reminds us to live in colour! Young and trendy, this eccentric shade finds a well-deserved place in any modern or eclectic kitchen.

    I guess I’m trendier than I thought. Who knew?

  • Lee Anne

    Hi – Onyx black is the colour that they chose for me – what can I say :-)

  • Kim

    Idid the quiz and my colour was empire red! I actually prefer the blue one you got. I did the test again and I got pistachio. Which I love but it wouldn’t go in my kitchen. The red would though!

  • Karen

    Took the quiz. The Persimmon colour KitchenAid Stand Mixer suits me to a T – rocks my world (and hopefully my kitchen someday soon!)
    (It would be right at home with my stainless steel Kitchenaid dishwasher and microwave, and ‘glam’ up my work space.)

  • Jim

    My colour was Majestic Yellow. An interesting choice as my kitchen walls and linen are yellow. I love yellow kitchens!

  • Kathryn

    Onyx is my colour. It’s so beautiful and useful. Perfect

  • Gail

    Hi!

    My Stand Mixer would be BOYSENBERRY….or was that BOISENBERRY?
    I think they got it right…something about thinking outside the box.

  • Greig

    My colour was Empire Red. I love that colour!

  • Debbie

    I took the Colourology test for the Kitchenaid and it selected Boysenberry. I love the colour.

  • Andrea

    Hmmm… “Caviar” (aka black) was chosen for me. How boring. I was hoping for red or purple or turquoise, or anything else really with more personality!

  • http://www.facebook.com/krutkowski Katie Rutkowski

    I adore Majestic Yellow! So fun and bright!

  • Jeff

    Persimmon. Would have been my top choice anyway.

    Ah! I had fun doing the survey. Didnt know there were so many colours! I got Pistachio Green…need to dig up my pearls!

  • C Wilson

    Pistachio green which is perfect b/c green is my fave color!
