STYLIST

Mix, whizz and stir up your favourite mixtures for cakes, creams and breads this summer with the gorgeous Breville Pick & Mix range.
This brand new collection includes a blender, hand blender and hand mixer, each of which comes in three lively candy colours; Strawberry Cream, Vanilla Cream and Pistachio.
The compact blender has two speed settings in addition to a convenient ice crush function and a two piece lid so you can add ingredients whilst blending. The portable hand blender comes with a measuring cup and chopper bowl for ultimate convenience and clever splash guard, which ensures ingredients don’t fly out of your bowl. The hand mixer has five speed settings to enable you to achieve the perfect results and has been designed to be lightweight so it is easy to control – particularly with tough dough and mixtures.
Four Stylist readers will win a Breville blender, hand blender and hand mixer each.


Answer - ??? I would say brown - but thats not an option.
Source I found says -
Although the shells typically have a light brown color, pistachio nuts may be dyed red or green to hide damage of the outer shell inflicted during processing.
Maybe we should wait to see if they change the options.

I think we are all agreed now that the Answer is c) Green

    Just looked at the pistachio nuts in my cupboard and they are mainly green.

    I had a look on Wikipedia and this is what I found (so I guess any answer is good answer)

    When the fruit ripens, the shell changes from green to an autumnal yellow/red, and abruptly splits part way open

    I would suggest the answer is GREEN.

    The range of Breville products come in Strawberry Cream (Pink), Vanilla Cream (Cream) and Pistachio (Green), so assuming they're linking the colour of the Breville product to the answer then the answer must be GREEN.

    Thanks for posting.

    I went with green because that is the colour of one of the 'candy colours' the devices come in-pistachio...
