my kitchen in my new house is white and gray.  i have had a red kitchenaid mixer, toaster and kettle and red keurig for years.  i got the red pot rack with white hooks.  i love it.  it really frees up cabinet space for tupperware and bakeware. my mother passed recently so I have several of her bakeware items that I just couldn't part with requiring me to need all the space I could get.
