WHAT EVER THE EYE DESIRES

 Among the great chefs of the world, it is widely believed that the success of a meal is directly related on the color and texture of the ingredients. I have always believed that color is the essential ingredient to create the ideal kitchen, a playground to experiment with your taste, senses and your personal style without restriction.

Color provides sensation, mood and personality. The colors we choose for our kitchen reflects the way we look at life. Color defines who we are as individuals. As the kitchen becomes more neutral, we find that pockets of color will define the character of the space. Color was once the exclusive domain of the affluent home owner who never worried about the effect of color on the resale value of the home. But today, the American palette is developing a more sophisticated eye for complex color along with the freedom of expression.

Approaching the kitchen as a fashion statement, I am always on the watch for color trends and influences. From the runways of Paris to the auto salons of Milan…Color is everywhere and that includes the kitchen. A stainless steel appliance, that cornerstone of modern kitchen design, is now giving way to bright, bold and edgy color combinations.

Not since the 70’s, with a limited pallet of Harvest Gold and Avocado Green, has
there been such an opportunity to add color to the kitchen. Today, many manufacturers offer anywhere from basic primary colors like Red, Blue, Yellow and Green to the entire color spectrum of the human eye.

From the passionate feelings created by a Sangria-Red or Maze-Yellow to the timeless qualities of Cobalt-Blue or Forrest Green, to the crispness of a SunsetOrange to the sophistication of rich violet. Color gives life to space and allows form and function to take shape. With its expressive quality and its striking appeal, I feel that space is inseparable from color.

Dacor, the California based manufacturer of premium kitchen appliances, announced that color personalization would be an added option with their new DacorMatch Color System. Now Dacor customers can easily personalize their cooking appliance with the new color option. In addition, the Dacor Design Team has hand-selected 7 vibrant color choices for its wall ovens and ranges including Haute Red, Dark Deenium, Bright White (matte and semi gloss), Anthracite (matte and semi gloss) and Castlerock.  All DacorMatch products are hand painted in California, using high performance acrylic urethane, for ultra vibrant colors that won’t fade over time.

The DacorMatch Color System allows you to personalize your appliances with any color imaginable – simply by providing a swatch of your desired color. Dacor's revolutionary computer color match will create the perfect match.

“Dacor wants to encourage there customers’ to feel free to express themselves not only through cooking, but also through design,” says Dacor President, Randy Warner. “By offering ovens and ranges in any color they choose, we are empowering them to truly make the kitchen their own.”

It appears that Dacor is on the leading edge of a color renaissance. Returning to
the center-stage after along hiatus, color is back with a vengeance. Evoking multisensory impressions, color is reaching, once again, to new heights of popularity.

If the new definiti0n of luxury is personalization, then it may be safe to say that “Color is the new black”.
