KitchenAid’s 2026 Colour of the Year: Spearmint
Spearmint is designed to bring a “calming yet revitalizing” energy into the home — a soft minty-green that brightens a space and feels like a deep breath in the middle of a busy day. It’s the kind of hue that looks equally stunning in a coastal, modern, or classic kitchen.
The Detail I Can’t Stop Talking About: The Sand Finish
This year’s Colour of the Year introduces something new: a textural “Sand” finish. Translation: Spearmint isn’t just pretty — it has a subtle tactile feel that adds warmth and depth, almost like a matte stoneware vibe. It’s a small detail that makes the whole thing feel more elevated and design-forward.
Why Spearmint Works in Real Kitchens
Spearmint is surprisingly flexible. If you want your kitchen to feel lighter, more intentional, and a little more joyful, this colour does the heavy lifting without screaming for attention.
- Pairs beautifully with: white, cream, soft grey, pale oak, and natural stone.
- Plays well with hardware: brushed nickel, stainless, and even warm brass.
- Style vibe: coastal calm, modern farmhouse, Scandinavian clean, or vintage-inspired.

Styling Tip: Make Spearmint the Star
If you’re adding Spearmint to your kitchen, keep the surrounding palette simple. Let the mixer be the “happy pop” on your counter — then echo the tone with small accents like a tea towel, a utensil crock, or a vase of greenery. It’s giving fresh-start energy, and I’m here for it.
