LE CREUSET JUST LAUNCHED A BRAND NEW COLOR, AND IT’S 100% PERFECT FOR SPRING

A launch of a new Le Creuset color is breaking news for many, but especially for
mega fans of the cookware brand who have strongly-held opinions about their
favorite hues. And the latest color drop from the beloved brand is one that’s
very in tune with the cheerful spring season—meet Shallot. Yes, they named it
after the allium vegetable, and yes its shade matches its namesake.

Shallot is described by Le Creuset as a “next-generation neutral,” and a hue
that “hovers between the palest purple and pink with an extremely light whisper
of lavender and gray.” It’s exactly a doppelgänger for the delicate hue found in
the inside of a shallot. And that kind of soft, light color is tricky to pull
off in products, to no surprise. “It is hard to achieve color stability with
such light colors,” a specialist from Le Creuset’s color lab explains on the
brand’s website. “Expertise on enamel and selection of specific pigments is
essential.”

So why use the vegetable as inspiration? Well, it does meet the color
preferences and aesthetics of the moment—personally, I think it’s sort of like a
grown-up millennial pink. The shallot also has some French history, too, which
makes for a nice nod to Le Creuset’s French roots. The brand says that the
Crusaders first introduced the shallot to France in the 11th century and since
then, it’s been an integral ingredient in French cuisine. In fact, Le Creuset
notes that French people have claimed that the particular shallot the color is
based on—the griselle, or French gray shallot—is the only “true shallot.”

Since the brand considers the color a neutral, it’s made to fit in just nicely
with your existing cookware and bakeware, no matter the style or palette. It’s a
nice way to add a “pop” of color without having to rethink your whole kitchen
set. You can get many of the brand’s classic pieces in the colorway, from Dutch
ovens to skillets to casserole dishes. Take a look at some of the pieces below.
