Le Creuset
When it comes to cookware, no brand does color like Le Creuset. Picking a favorite collection among the number of beautiful options is like picking a favorite child—and it's not about to get easier. A new addition to the impressive lineup just launched, and it's made for those who are drawn to the night sky.
Previously, the darkest blue Le Creuset had to offer was Agave, but this collection changes that. Called Nuit, the new color line is claiming the title of «deepest blue of all.»
«Nuit by Le Creuset is an intense and evocative hue inspired by the mystery of the night,» the company said in a press release. (Nuit translates to «night» in French.) «Like a moonlit ocean, the luxurious, velvety color swirls from black to true blue—versatile and always dramatic.»
It makes sense that Le Creuset might want to add a deep navy to its arsenal. While navy is timeless, much like Le Creuset itself, the color is also having a bit of a moment. It can add depth and richness to a space without being overpowering, and it naturally brings about a soothing, grounding effect. At a time when trends have shifted toward darker, moodier tones in interior design, the introduction of Nuit is a total no-brainer.
And there's more: This launch doesn't stop with the new color.
Most of the knobs on Le Creuset dishes are either stainless steel, light gold, or gold. But this new collection marks the very first to feature a chrome knob—which Le Creuset pointed out will perfectly complement the richness of Nuit. You won't be able to get the chrome knob on any other colorway just yet, but here's hoping it'll become more accessible in the future.
Nuit is joining a wide range of 23 different shades at Le Creuset, from Shallot and Flame to Thyme
