This one’s for you, home bakers and design enthusiasts. KitchenAid just announced their 2026 Color of the Year , and it’s perfectly cool and calming – just what we’re all craving amidst chaos.

Here’s everything you need to know about Spearmint, KitchenAid’s 2026 Color of the Year.

Described as a “vibrant minty green” with subtle blue undertones, Spearmint was designed to feel equally grounding and energizing. Inspired by the soft feel of real mint leaves, Spearmint is available in a first-of-its-kind Sand texture that’s meant to create a "warm, inviting, and sensorial” tactile experience.

"Amid global uncertainty, we are seeing that consumers are seeking renewal by redefining success and reclaiming control over their personal fulfillment and well-being. That is why we are introducing Spearmint as our 2026 Color of the Year," said Chad Ries, Senior Director Global Brand and Product Marketing at KitchenAid Small Appliances. "For all of these reasons, we see Spearmint as a color that invites individuals to be present, promoting a refreshing state of mind, and symbolizing positive growth and renewal, embodying a return to self."
