Cherry red range
Red is a classic kitchen color, but now it’s moved off the walls and onto appliances. This 30-inch range would stun when set in a bank of charcoal gray cabinets. $2,395; bigchill.com/shop/cook/big-chill-pro-stove
For a bright color, this maize yellow electric wall oven feels elegant, almost like an appliance you’d find in an Italian villa. Pair it with plywood cabinets for a seamless look, or black for full-contrast drama. Price varies by options chosen. www.bluestarcooking.com/products/wall-ovens/electric-wall-oven

Bright yellow range
Let this sunny color be the star by surrounding it with white or pale gray cabinets. It would also look smashing in an industrial kitchen with stainless steel cabinets and concrete countertops. Price varies by options chosen. www.bluestarcooking.com/products/platinum-series-new

Lime green refrigerator
When was the last time you looked at a refrigerator and thought, It’s so cute! We dare you not to utter those words in the face of this petite lime green number. It doesn’t have a freezer drawer, which makes it perfect as a secondary spot to stash drinks. $1,999; www.smegusa.com/product/fab28ulir1
