The full collection is equipped with Smudge-Proof™ Black Stainless Steel that resists fingerprints and cleans easily, giving consumers time back to spend where it matter most, with their families. With a modern, neutral tone, the suite provides a fresh palette to build upon in the kitchen, complementing both bright, vibrant colors and dark muted accents. Whether adding light countertops and cabinetry or pops of color in the backsplash, the Smudge-Proof™ Black Stainless Steel appliances are the first step in creating a warm, calming atmosphere in the kitchen – the ideal place for savoring family moments.

"Our new Frigidaire Gallery® Smudge-Proof™ Black Stainless Steel suite was designed to meet the growing consumer need for materials that have the same quality and durability of stainless steel, but are more unique and modern looking," said Narss Lapinid, ‎Senior Color, Material and Finish Designer at Electrolux. "Our soft black tone and innovative features draw families into a sleek kitchen environment that provides the quick and consistent results they crave, helping to streamline household tasks and maximize family time." 

To further the conversation around color in the kitchen, Frigidaire® will be joining interior design startup Homepolish, leading color expert Pantone Color Institute and design blog Design*Sponge for a panel discussion on January 10, 2017 at KBIS around how to choose the right color shades and schemes to improve the look, mood and feel of the home.
