Best Green Kitchen Appliances That Don't Look Like a 1970s Rental
Green appliances carry baggage. Anyone who has seen an avocado-colored fridge from 1974 has a reason to be suspicious, and that single shade set the category back about forty years.
The greens worth buying now are deeper and duller: sage, pistachio, British racing, teal. They behave like neutrals in a way avocado never did. Here are four that hold up.

Artisan Stand Mixer · KitchenAid
The Artisan in Pistachio is the anchor piece. It's pale enough to sit against white subway tile without fighting it, and it's the single object most likely to set the palette for the rest of the room.

50s Retro Electric Kettle · SMEG
Smeg's 50s kettle is doing a period impression, and the green is what keeps it from tipping into costume. Buy it if your counter is otherwise plain.

5-Cup Coffee Maker · Holstein Housewares
A teal 5-cup maker for about $23. Small-kitchen sizing, and the color does more work than the price suggests.
