QuestionWhat color is INK BLUE? Is it bright or more muted like a navy blue--5.5 Quart Bowl-Lift Mixer? Also, why is this mixer $100.00 less than the KitchenAid - Artisan Series 5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer
Asked 2 years ago by Bee.
This question was asked about the related product: KitchenAid - 5.5 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer - Ink Blue
- Answer Ink blue is a deep, dark purplish blue. Very pretty. Usually this mixer is more costly than the Artisan tilt heads. The bowl lift mixers have a stronger motor than the tilt heads. They supposedly can handle thicker mixtures.
