There are so many rich and gorgeous colors for these mixers, that it is really tough to pick just one. You might seriously want two. I have included a handy color guide throughout, with color symbolism and color interpretation, to give your color choice true meaning. Red would be my pick: KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Empire Red!
Oh, please take a moment to tell me which color you would pick! If you can pick just one. I love KitchenAid and find it difficult to pick just one pretty color!

A Favorite Brand!
KitchenAid was found to be the home kitchen appliance brand chosen most often by members of the International Association of Culinary Professionals, based on a September 2003 survey.
The KitchenAid KSM150PSBL Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Bay Leaf is talking to me. What I mean by that is "I LOVE this color!" I've had a particular fondness for bay leaf room freshener fragrances; however, when I saw it as a color for a mixer, it was love at first sight!
This color is a blend of blues and greens to achieve a new kind of color synergy. I love it and I think you will too!

Cook for the Cure presented by KitchenAid, was created in 2001 to give passionate cooks a way to support the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
They has raised millions of dollars through donation-with-purchase programs, special fundraising events, auctions and grass roots initiatives.
What's inspiring is that KitchenAid also supports breast cancer foundations around the world in such countries as Canada, France, Germany, South Africa, Greece and Israel.
