The color experts at Pantone have announced their official color of 2026: a creamy white shade called Cloud Dancer that we’ll be seeing everywhere over the coming months, from fashion to furnishings. It’s soft and timeless, and as TechRadar’s kitchen expert, I’ve put together a collection of appliances and accessories that will help you incorporate it into your home.
Earlier this year, KitchenAid announced that it was making all its automatic coffee makers available in soft Porcelain White, including one of my all-time favorites, the KitchenAid KF6 Fully Automatic Espresso Machine. It’s incredibly easy to use, produces consistently delicious and well-extracted espresso with the thickest crema I’ve ever seen, and during my tests, I found it a pleasure to use every morning. Take a look at my full KitchenAid KF6 review for more details.
Want something more affordable? The De’Longhi Dedica Duo is the best compact espresso machine I’ve tested this year, leaving similarly priced manual coffee makers from other brands in the dust (see my De’Longhi Dedica Duo review). In soft Vanilla, it will add a touch of class to your breakfast corner.
If you’ve been considering picking up a KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer, creamy off-white Almond Cream is the perfect color for such a special investment piece, as it’ll fit perfectly in just about any kitchen. I’ve owned mine for 13 years, and it still mixes and kneads just as well as it did on day one.
The Ninja Blast Portable Blender is an affordable way to add a dash of Cloud Dancer to your kitchen counter, and is one of the best blenders we’ve ever tested for making smoothies to take on the go, thanks to its unique sip-lid design. Take a look at our complete Ninja Blast review for the full lowdown.
