All Le Creuset Colors: The Complete Catalogue (137+ Shades and Counting)

Le Creuset has produced more colours since 1925 than any cookware company we know of. There’s no official complete list anywhere — not on the Le Creuset website, not in their press materials. We’ve catalogued 137body shades and counting. Here’s how that catalogue breaks down, what makes a shade “real,” and how to actually browse all of them.

The numbers

Of the 137 shades currently catalogued on Mon Flamme:

• 65 are currently in productionacross Le Creuset’s various regional markets.
• 17 are or were limited editions — anniversary releases, retailer collaborations, seasonal runs.
• 43 are discontinued — produced within roughly the last 30 years and now off the shelf, but findable on the secondary market.
• 12 are vintage (pre-1990) and rarely surface for sale — mostly French shades from the 1950s Arlequin era and earlier.

The catalogue spans six countries of manufacture, the earliest shade going back to 1925— that’s Flame, the original orange-red gradient still produced unchanged today.

Why no “official” list exists

Le Creuset doesn’t publish a historical catalogue. Several practical reasons:

• Regional palettes diverge.Japan, South Africa, Australia, the US, and the UK each get colours that don’t cross markets. There’s no single global SKU list.
• Retailer exclusives blur the lines.Williams-Sonoma, Sur La Table, Crate & Barrel each got their own short-run colours that don’t appear in Le Creuset’s general marketing.
• Names migrate.The same shade has been sold under different names in different markets and decades — Volcanique in French is Flame in English; Onyx in the UK is Licorice in the US. Counting these as one or two depends on how you frame it.

Browse all colours by family

The most useful way to navigate the full catalogue is by colour family. Each link below opens a filtered grid of every shade in that family — current, discontinued, regional, the lot.

• All red Le Creuset shades — from Flame and Cerise to vintage Grenade
• All orange shades
• All yellow shades — Soleil, Elysée Yellow, Honey, Dijon, more
• All green shades — the largest single family, ~30 shades across eras
• All blue shades — Marseille, Marine, Caribbean, Indigo, Cobalt, vintage Gauloises
• All purple shades
• All pink shades
• All brown shades
• All neutral shades — whites, creams, greys, blacks

Or browse by year, country, or rarity

• Colours by year — chronological from 1925 forward, useful for vintage identification
• Colours by country — pieces are often easier to identify when you know which regional palette they came from
• The Rainbow— every catalogued shade arranged across the visible spectrum
• Rare & grail shades — the colours collectors actively hunt for at auction

The colours people search for most

A handful of shades anchor most of the conversation in collector communities:

• Flame— the 1925 original, never discontinued. The shade everyone pictures when they think of Le Creuset.
• Cassis— deep blackcurrant purple, US release, discontinued. Heavy collector interest.
• Marseille— the modern saturated blue. Easy to confuse with Marine and Indigo.
• Agave— bicolour blue-teal with brass knobs. Identifies wrongly more than any other shade if you go by hex alone.
• Marble— hand-painted grey veining over cream. The only shade where two pieces are never identical.
• Cerise— the bright cherry red that replaced “Cherry” in the 2010s rename pass.
• Sakura— Japan-only cherry blossom pink, released around 2011. Returns periodically for spring.

When a “new” colour isn’t actually new

Several pairs in our catalogue are the same shade under different names — we keep them as separate rows because the names exist in different markets and collectors search using both:

• Cerise / Cherry: Cherry was the early-2000s English name; Cerise is the French canonical that replaced it.
• Volcanique / Volcanic / Flame: same orange-red shade since 1925, named differently across French and English catalogues.
• Licorice / Onyx / Black: the same glossy black across markets.
• Forêt / Forest: French name for the same forest green.

Where we’ve consolidated genuine duplicates, we keep one canonical row with the alternates as aliases — so a search for “Cherry” resolves correctly to Cerise.

A living catalogue

Mon Flamme is the most complete public Le Creuset colour archive we know of, but it’s not finished. New shades are released every year, retailer exclusives keep surfacing, and vintage references show up at estate sales. If you find a colour we don’t have, drop a comment on the closest existing page or email us. If you own a piece in a shade we have but haven’t photographed, cataloguing it on your own collection page automatically contributes the photo to the public archive.
