The brand’s new vibrant blue-green shade brings the coast to your kitchen
Le Creuset is known for its premium enameled stone and cast-iron cookware. But as much as the brand has made its reputation based on product performance, the fun, bold color range that the cookware comes in is another reason customers are such big fans.
This spring, Le Creuset has introduced an exciting new shade that’s already selling fast: Riviera, a vibrant blue-green that’s reminiscent of sunny days near the ocean. So whether you’re looking to start your Le Creuset collection or want to add to the pieces you already have, you can find many of the brand’s most popular products in this beautiful new color and help give your kitchen a fresh look.
What’s the story behind Le Creuset’s newest color?
Considering the brand makes some of the highest-quality cookware on the market, it’s no surprise that Le Creuset draws inspiration from luxury locations for product colors. Le Creuset presents “Riviera” as an expressive, bright option that can work with various kitchen decor styles.
The shade is inspired by the Mediterranean coast, evoking luxurious seaside vacation vibes and sunlit, breezy afternoons, so it’s a fitting name for Le Creuset’s new color.
Le Creuset offers 41 of its most popular products in Riviera, so it’s a perfect addition for those new to Le Creuset cookware — and even those who already have some of the famous cookware in their kitchen. You can pair items in the Riviera shade with any color you like, but Le Creuset recommends two colors from its line: Marseille, a bright sailor blue, and Nectar, a sunshine yellow with a hint of caramel brown.
