Appliance colors have gone in and out of style over the years, but neutrals like white, black, charcoal, and stainless steel have remained the standard. While these colors are great options for certain kitchen styles, they may not be the right choice if you are going for a more original aesthetic. With innovations from companies like BlueStar, which offers over 750 customizable oven colors, influential kitchen trends of past decades are making a comeback — from bold hues like purple violet, burnt orange, and royal blue to subtle pastels like antique pink and mint green.

Since the 1920s, homeowners have used colored ovens to brighten their kitchens, with yellow, red, and green appearing as staples in design trends of past eras. Similarly, today's homeowners are no longer limited to stock colors. The 750-plus hues offered by BlueStar present an overwhelming number of choices. To narrow things down, we scoured these custom options, along with exterior colors from other companies like Unique Appliances (available at Home Depot), Magic Chef, and KOSTCH. Below are nine truly unique finishes that will turn a boring kitchen bold and inspire your next appliance makeover.

Antique pink is a darker shade of the pastel pink most people think of — but only slightly. Unlike the bubblegum pink you might see on a Barbie kitchen set, antique pink is a more sophisticated color that can add elegance to your kitchen. This color is reminiscent of the pink tones used in 1950s powder rooms and Art Deco-era bathrooms but with a refreshingly contemporary take. BlueStar offers antique pink as a base color for stoves with options to customize accent colors like knobs, handles, stovetop, and backing.

Red is a color that has dominated kitchens for decades. The color of choice, however, has primarily been centered around brighter hues, like fire engine red, which can look more clownish than classic when styled incorrectly. Burgundy, on the other hand, is a bold, dark shade of red that brings a unique look to your kitchen. The deep wine tone pairs well with both light and dark interior palettes. The shade stands out especially well against neutral hues, which fits with the kitchen color trends we're eyeing right now.

Burnt orange is a color that has made its way into modern kitchens as an unexpectedly stunning design feature. It's not a hue that you want to overdo, so using it as an accent on appliances — like your oven — may be the perfect way to incorporate it into a kitchen. Plus, burnt orange is proven to elevate one's mood. It's one of the more popular colors available right now, which makes ovens adorned in burnt orange easier to find at local retailers and from your favorite brands. 

Ready to bring earthy tones to your home décor with a rich and gorgeous color combo? Mixing orange with dark green will make your kitchen feel like a nature retreat. An oven in ivy green is the perfect appliance for this mix. This deep shade of green adds originality to today's earth-toned kitchens. It's a great way to make an impact in this utilitarian room without sacrificing comfort. If orange isn't your thing, that's okay! You can pair ivy green with a wide range of hues, from cream to navy blue.

Mint green is a color that has appeared in home décor many times over the decades. Today, it can still add a pop of originality to your kitchen if you style it right. This is another popular and more widely available color option. However, if you are looking for a unique kitchen color combination to try out, consider blending your new mint green appliance with peach cabinetry for a refreshing, statement-making pastel color palette.

Purple violet is BlueStar's 2026 Color of the Year across all their appliances, including their ovens. This custom hue brings a bold pop of color to your kitchen. It's a dark shade of purple that emphasizes your personality and knowledge of style. Your oven will become a rich accent piece. Purple violet can be paired with a wide range of hues, like soft pink, white, or chocolate brown, and finishes, including gold and natural wood. It goes best with light tones.

You can't go wrong with royal blue in your kitchen. Use this deep blue hue to bring elements of nature or elegance to the room and showcase your unique personality. Dark blue is the basis of several kitchen design aesthetics, including coastal, modern farmhouse, cottage, and English country. A number of brands have royal blue range ovens, giving you a decent amount of choice for style and price.

Saffron yellow is a rich, warm color that creates a vibrant, inviting atmosphere in a kitchen. It's bold, with hints of orange that make it stand out without being too bright. Saffron yellow pairs well with deep blue hues (like royal blue), which are trending choices for kitchen cabinets. BlueStar offers saffron yellow as one of their custom oven colors, but you can also buy vinyl oven wraps in saffron. Viking has a daffodil oven, which is a fairly similar hue.

Water blue is a stunning greenish blue color that blends tones of turquoise and teal for an ocean-inspired look that would work great in a coastal kitchen. Water blue is an exclusive color in BlueStar's custom appliance line, but other companies have released finishes in similar shades — AGA's Salcombe Blue ovens, for example. Water blue pairs well with both light and dark colors, making it a versatile option for a wide range of design aesthetics.
