Our Place, one of the most stylish direct-to-consumer kitchen brands out there, has shared a lot of exciting news lately. Between the new bakeware set that contains a gorgeous roasting pan we loved, the Cast Iron Always Pan that finally makes the internet’s favorite pan oven-proof, and the brunch-ready Full of Pride Mugs (that are still available!), Our Place is clearly on a roll. And now, just to add to all of the commotion, the company has yet another major announcement: there’s a brand new color now available!

That’s right, as of today July 27 at 12 pm EST, Our Place is launching their newest color, Aura. It’s an absolutely dreamy periwinkle inspired by the starry night sky, intended to make you excited in the kitchen. Both the Always Pan and Perfect Pot are available in Aura — but if we’ve learned anything from past Our Place color launches (we’re looking at you, Acid and Lavender), it’s that we know they sell out pretty quickly. And with a shade as mesmerizing as this one, we can almost guarantee it’ll vanish quickly.

“Aura brings endless possibilities right into your kitchen. This dreamy new color will inspire home-cooks and dinner party hosts to think outside the box, get creative and follow their cooking intuition,” says Shiza Shahid, co-founder of Our Place, in a statement about the launch. It’s not hard to see why this hue might be popular if you love all things astrological — it’s inspired by the cosmos and anything mystical!

For a quick refresher on the Always Pan and Perfect Pot, allow us to explain why these tools are so beloved by the internet (and our editors!). We’ve been impressed by the Always Pan ever since we first tested it, finding that it offers a smooth nonstick surface and so much style. Use it to fry, sauté, steam, sear, boil, strain, and more. It also includes few special touches like a modular lid that can trap and release steam, plus two easy pour spouts.

We were equally wowed when we reviewed the Perfect Pot, finding its multipurpose functions as a Dutch oven, stock pot, sauce pot, roasting rack, steamer, strainer, and braiser impressive and useful. Similar to the Always Pan, it has a ceramic nonstick surface, modular lid, and pour spouts, but it has the added bonus of being oven-safe up to 425 degrees. And, for anyone who wants a matching set, you can also pick up the Home Cook Duo in Aura to save $60!

If you’ve been looking for a sign to invest in either of these pieces of cookware, we think this new hue is it. We’re positive that as soon as either the Always Pan or Perfect Pot in the new Aura shade arrives at your doorstep, you’ll want to host a dinner party ASAP and show it off!

Buy: Always Pan, Aura, $145; Perfect Pot, Aura, $165; Home Cook Duo, Aura, $250
