Le Creuset Brand Colour Reference

Founded in 1925 in Fresnoy-le-Grand, France, Le Creuset is the world's leading manufacturer of enamelled cast iron cookware. The iconic Volcanic Orange, inspired by the molten orange glow inside a casting furnace, has been the brand's signature colour for nearly a century. In 2025, Le Creuset and Pantone partnered to celebrate the brand's 100th anniversary.

Colour references

• Volcanic Orange #F36F21
• Cast Iron Black #231F20
• Enamel White #FFFFFF

Le Creuset's Volcanic Orange (#F36F21) is one of the most successful product colours in design history. It works because it is the colour of heat, cooking, and appetite all in one. Against the black (#231F20) of cast iron, it glows like embers. The colour is warm enough to make a kitchen feel inviting but bold enough to be a statement piece on any shelf. Le Creuset proved that cookware could be both functional and beautiful, and the colour did most of the heavy lifting.
