From the French Night Sky to Your Kitchen: The Inspiration Behind Le Creuset’s Latest Colour
Le Creuset’s latest colour launch, Nuit, brings a rich midnight blue to kitchens and dining tables. Inspired by the stillness and beauty of night, this deep shade has been created to feel both timeless and versatile. Its name comes from the French word for “night”, and it reflects Le Creuset’s heritage of combining practical design with French elegance.
The colour Nuit draws on the mystery and calm of the night sky. It’s a tone that feels sophisticated without being overwhelming - dark enough to make a statement, yet able to effortlessly complement other shades in your kitchen.
The French phrase “Bonne Nuit”, meaning “good night”, sits at the heart of this collection. It represents both the name and the sentiment behind the colour: evenings where stories unfold and celebrations shine.
A Timeless Colour for Every Home
Nuit has been designed with versatility in mind, working beautifully in kitchens of all styles and colours. Its depth of colour means it can stand alone as a bold choice, while also pairing easily with other Le Creuset favourites:
Volcanic: a bold, fiery contrast that adds warmth and vibrancy alongside Nuit.
Sea Salt: a soft, calming shade that balances the depth of Nuit with a relaxed, coastal feel.
The adaptability of Nuit makes it a shade that will continue to feel relevant and stylish year after year.

A cappuccino mug filled with a warming drink, a ramekin serving a comforting dessert, or a stovetop kettle gently whistling - these everyday moments feel elevated when paired with the depth of this new colour. Nuit is practical, but it also adds a sense of calm and refinement to the table.
