I second that Ken, white does match everything.
Our kitchen appliances are all white. GE electric stove, GE top mount refrigerator, White Magic Chef MW, Whirlpool DW and white Nu-Tone hood. The current mixer on the counter is a White Sunbeam 2360 Mixmaster. All the other small electric are kept in cabinets. I don’t like clutter. I rotate in different small electrics kept out and used.

 Both kitchens are colour-centric (turquoise) and mostly brand-centric
In Ogden: Majors - Wonder Kitchen, wall refrigerator - all GE, all turquoise. There is a GE white mobile maid portable dishwasher too. Smalls and accessories - turquoise
In St-Liboire: Majors - Range and refrigerator - Frigidaire, turquoise. The latest built-in dishwasher is a Whirlpool in turquoise; the portable is a KitchenAid, painted turquoise. Smalls - mostly chrome | ||

Mostly mishmash....
Majors: LG French Door Frig – Stainless Samsung cooktop, oven, BI Microwave all Stainless Dishwasher Bosch Stainless
Smalls: Breville Air Fry Toaster Oven Stainless Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer Chrome Thermomix White Vitamix Blender Blue Omega Juicer – Chromeish
I have many smalls (many to many if you ask hubby) and I rotate them in and out. The ones I use most often stay out. The Thermomix I use almost every day. The big mixer stays out because it’s too big to move in and out. I have probably every brand of coffeemaker because I collect them. Right now I have a Nespresso on the counter, a chemex tucked away in the corner and a vintage Jet-O-Matic percolator.
My strategy for Fashion vs. Function – When I am making a major purchase like an appliance, I generally establish my budget and then find the best functioning choice I can for that function within my budget. I have never purchased an appliance set to match. I guess I try to Match..ISH if that makes sense. Like the majors in the kitchen are all stainless but not the same brand. | ||

My kitchen came with a stainless steel refrigerator, gas range and dishwasher, and I replaced the range with another stainless steel, while I neglected to make sure the dishwasher would also be stainless, so it came in a slate or black/gray, while I still have the original fridge… The toaster is white, so is the seldom-used food processor, I have a black juice squeezer and a black Kitchen Aid stand-up mixer, while I at least got my Oster blender in red, and there’s a stainless steel toaster oven I got from my in-laws as well as once a four-slice toaster from my brother in-law which quit working and I never figured out how to empty the crumb tray or even if it had one under it so it got discarded along with my electric griddle which had a short in the set of wires in it I couldn’t fix…
So mainly mish-mash for me… — Dave | ||

Form vs Function Where Form ≡ Brand, and Function ≡ Utility, I'm definitely on the Function side.
Thus in the main kitchen here, there's an original GE wall oven (electric), a Frigidaire Gas On Glass cooktop, a Bosch dishwasher, and a Kitchenaid Side by Side fridge. It all works very well, and to me that's the main point. | ||
