BENTON HARBOR, Mich., March 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- KitchenAid announced today its plan to reveal a "Color of the Year" each year across a select line of countertop appliances. Long known as the kitchen color pioneer, KitchenAid will debut Bird of Paradise, the 2018 Color of the Year, at the International Home and Housewares Show in Chicago, March 10-13. The energy-charged vibrant coral color with a high-gloss finish and powerful glow is guaranteed to bring any kitchen to life and extends the brand's legacy as an authority on color.

KitchenAid(R) Debuts Inaugural "Color of the Year" in Bird of Paradise, an energy-charged vibrant coral color with a high-gloss finish and powerful glow. Bird of Paradise will be available across several KitchenAid countertop appliances in 2018.

KitchenAid tapped into the year's hottest design trends and paired that with the spirit of the passionate maker—those who find escape in their kitchen on the quest for culinary adventure, whether a sensory tour of the past or new tastes and textures of tomorrow. Bird of Paradise embodies the lush, tropical paradise, an escape from the everyday, and boasts a spirit of exploration inviting the passionate maker to take on any culinary adventure.

"Color has long been a part of the KitchenAid heritage. As we look forward, we want to continue cultivating inspiration in the kitchen through our design," said Nikki Lockett, U.S. Marketing Leader for KitchenAid^® Small Appliances.

"Bird of Paradise is an exotic getaway in a color. The vibrant coral hue is uplifting and fresh with just a touch of nostalgia," said Jessica McConnell, Senior Manager, Color, Finish & Material Studio, Global Consumer Design. "It looks great on its own, but, also pairs beautifully with the deep, lush greens we are seeing everywhere in interior design right now."
