It’s nice to see a company bring back a retro color — and all the more so when they don’t shy away from calling it by its time capsule name. Yes, Kitchenaid this year introduced a series kitchen ranges in a variety of real colors — and on one of them they had the courage to use the A-Word: Avocado! Well, Avocado Cream. They also fearlessly dialed Burnt Orange up a notch to: Scorched Orange.
- The line features a dual fuel range and a gas range.
- Colors are: Avocado Cream, Imperial Black, Ink Blue, Milkshake, Misty Blue, Passion Red, Scorched Orange, Yellow Pepper to complement the kitchen’s aesthetic. Also available: Stainless Steel.
- A KitchenAid® Handle Medallion Kit, sold separately, lets makers change the color of the handle medallions to add a custom accent. Available in Black, Bronze, Copper, Dark Blue, Mascarpone, New Gold, Red and Silver, each kit includes two medallions.
- The Commercial-Style Dual Fuel Range and Commercial-Style Gas Range are available in a variety of models, including 30”, 36” and 48” sizes and four or six burners.

Wow! I love them all. Nice change of pace in a crazy year to see beautiful deep rich colors to make us smile!
Wow, finally they (the big companies) are coming around! I love the orange! Just wish they would make the colors in the other appliances. Eventually will need to remodel the kitchen, and I need a gas cooktop, wall ovens, and fridge. Not a range.
GORGEOUS!!!FINALLY,COLOR.IF I NEVER SEE ANOTHER stainless steel appliance I shall be happy. I loved the ink blue,but oh, those we bright warm colors really sizzle. Thanks for the story.
Love to see colors available! Hopefully they will expand the color choices to more basic appliances. I really have no need for a commercial range, but I’d love to have a standard 30 inch in a great color.
Let’s remember to keep an eye out for this intro expected in 2021: https://retrorenovation.com/2020/03/16/retro-stoves-in-turquoise-mint-green-white-and-black-with-a-30-range-coming-in-2020/
I love that they’re doing this but of course still prefer my gorgeous Pink Lemonade and Beach Blue ranges from Big Chill. Their colors are a dream! But this nee red seems about as beautiful as Northstar’s red that we have at our ranch! I welcome all color, yay!!!
I wish they’d offered these colors when I bought my appliances. I have a Kitchen-Aid double oven, a KA 36′ gas cooktop, a KA dishwasher and an LG fridge. They’re all stainless steel, but I love them nonethelessless. We’d had a Maytag range with a small upper oven and while I loved having two ovens, I’d never again have the stacked ovens in a range. ( You have an idea what it’s like to pick a turkey basically off the floor?) My husband insisted that we get double ovens, too and they are so handy for holiday cooking. I have seen stainless steel ovens in several movies filmed in the 50s and early 60s though: Susan Slept Here and Critic’s Choice. There’s very little about my kitchen reno that is mid-century, but then there is very little that is mid-century about my house. We ain’t taking about an Eichler, folks!
That Avocado cream would go beautifully with my Ball Green walls though.
