Le Creuset has been revolutionising kitchens from across the world since the 1900s, regularly challenging how cookware can be used and is viewed. In fact, Le Creuset introduced the first vibrant, Flame-coloured enamelled cast iron cocotte in 1925 refining the original Dutch Oven design. Our flame-coloured enamelled cast iron Dutch Oven has since emerged as a staple in kitchens across the world, but we haven’t stopped there.
Le Creuset has since developed and released dozens of new colours around the world. In Canada, 14 different colours for your cookware, bakeware and accessories are currently available, helping transform kitchens with bold centerpieces or accents. Our latest releases, Shell Pink and Chambray, make our commitment to innovation and trendsetting clear. Le Creuset is always looking to elevate kitchen setups with bold colour schemes, unique designs and premium materials including enamelled cast iron, toughened nonstick and stainless steel.
Here is the complete guide to Le Creuset’s colours and how you can add them to your home.

The Classics
Cerise and Flame emerged as the original trend-setting colours for Le Creuset, highlighting that bold colour designs have a place on premium cookware. Today, these two colours are Le Creuset essentials and two of the most memorable shades.
Cerise
Cerise offers home cooks and chefs alike an equally striking and rich hue for all their iconic pieces of cookware, embodying the passion that goes into your favourite home-cooked recipes.
A direct translation for ‘cherry’, our collection of Cerise cookware is engaging and is sure to stand out on any dinner table. The classic serving platter and bowl set is ideal for our line of cerise serveware, injecting a bold splash of red to your dinner tables.
Flame
Our flame-coloured enamelled cast iron cookware has redefined traditional cookware and has since become a permanent fixture across households. In fact, it was first introduced in 1925 with the Dutch Oven and is undoubtedly the brand’s trademark statement colour.
The iconic Dutch Oven is the perfect piece of cookware for this colour scheme and is a great place to start your flame-coloured collection. Much like the colour, the Dutch Oven is versatile and serves a variety of purposes, from cooking to a mixing pitcher in the summertime.
Timeless Essentials
Simply put, you cannot go wrong with this combination of colours. Featuring Blueberry, Artichaut, Teal, and Meringue, these colours never go out of style.
Blueberry
Our line of Blueberry cookware is designed to stand out in any kitchen with its calming yet daring colour palette. This true blue hue features rich gradients and ensures your favourite pots, pans, and cookware accessories stand out while complimenting metallic hues often found in kitchen appliances. Our Stockpot is a great fit for this shade of blue, serving delicious dinners for the whole family in style.
Artichaut
Artichaut offers chefs an opulent green and is perfectly suited for chic and modern kitchen setups. Soulful, yet vibrant, this colour is extremely versatile and can be used to accent your kitchen.
Whether you’re pairing an Artichaut Deluxe Round Trivet with your cookware, or simply want a multi-cooker pot like a braiser in this colour scheme, our Artichaut line of cookware has you covered for years to come and will never go out of style.
Teal
Deep and moody, our Teal collection is inspired by the colours of tropical foliage and the island sea. This sophisticated blue-green hue offers a fresh new look in your kitchen and is available in over 50 products.
Teal essentials include the Round Dutch Oven, the Iron Handle Skillet, and the Braiser, allowing you to prepare all your favourite dishes in style. Having just been released in 2020, our Teal collection has quickly emerged as a favourite.
Meringue
Much like the European delicacy it is named after, our Meringue collection is soft, pure, and has a place at every dinner table. A luxurious ivory tone by nature, our Meringue pieces of cookware inspire elegance, featuring a soft and creamy colour palette.
A Meringue Salt Crock and a Cerise Mortar and Pestle are two essential kitchen accessories that contrast each other to perfection. Otherwise, a Meringue Rectangular Roaster can go from the oven to the table and act as the ideal centrepiece.
For Modern Elegance
This collection of colours is beloved for their ability to compliment or contrast existing cookware and can be used to match any kitchen style with ease. Featuring chic, modern colours, these six colours are elegant additions to your existing Le Creuset collection.
Sage
Looking to throw it back in your kitchen with a retro, yet familiar colour palette? Look no further than our Sage collection. Inspired by the delicate sage leaves, this line of cookware is a thoughtful touch to any kitchen, remaining relevant for years to come.
Elevate your morning routine with a Sage French Press and Classic Whistling Kettle and start your day with this soothing hue. Perfect for both modern and traditional kitchen setups, our Sage collection is as versatile as the cookware it is on.
Cotton
Our Cotton collection epitomises what minimalist cookware is all about. This matte white is super modern and is extremely easy to match with any existing colour palettes in your kitchen.
Cotton cookware brings a subtle stream of light into your kitchen and is bold enough to be used on its own. The Chef’s French Oven and Iron Handle Skillet is a great combination for our Cotton collection, ensuring your favourite recipes can go from stovetop to the dinner table in style.
Nutmeg
Our Nutmeg collection is as rich and distinctive as the spice it is named after. Elegant, earth-toned, and subtly sweet, our Nutmeg cookware provides warmth in your kitchen with its cool and dramatic undertones.
This colour palette is perfectly suited to match sleek and sophisticated decor in modern, minimal, and rustic kitchen setups. Our Nutmeg collection makes for elegant serveware, and looks right at home on our minimalist coupe pasta bowls and salad or dessert plates.
Oyster
Our Oyster collection is a fundamental grey that is carefully crafted to pair with everything in your kitchen. Inspired by the clay of the earth and glistening stones polished by surf, this colour blends in easily with existing kitchen decor, offering a neutral and balanced colour palette.
We offer a number of our favourite cookware accessories in Oyster, including Salt and Pepper Mills, a Butter Dish, and a Set of 4 Appetizer plates.
Licorice
Our Licorice collection features a slick matte black, embodying the complex flavour profile that goes into its namesake. Perfect for modern yet elegant kitchen setups, this colour palette is anything but simple and can be used exceptionally well to contrast your kitchen decor.
Our Three-Piece Skillet Set is sure to stand out in Licorice, helping you replicate the outdoor flavour of the grill all-year round. This matte black is extremely versatile, matching your existing cookware with ease, and is a great way to add a bold splash of colour into your kitchen.
New Releases
We recently released some new colours as Le Creuset continuously looks to offer bold and innovative new looks in the kitchen.
Shell Pink
Le Creuset rang in 2022 with a subtle, yet daring Shell Pink. This soft pink is extremely easy to pair existing cookware with, providing a much-needed breath of fresh air and pop during the colder winter months.
Our Shell Pink cookware embodies Le Creuset’s commitment to innovation, helping you step out of your comfort zone and tackle new recipes with a wonderful new colour. Our Heart Collection is perfect for the recently released Shell Pink, featuring a Heart-Shaped Iron Handle Skillet, and Heart Cocotte.

White
Cool, classic, and modern, our White collection offers a clean slate for your serveware, making your recipes the star of the show. This collection is designed to pop, providing much-needed sharpness on the dinner table without compromising elegance.
