If, like me, you were heartbroken to hear that Le Creuset were discontinuing the beloved Meringue colorway, you are about to wholeheartedly forgive them. Le Creuset has officially launched the final color of the year – Nuit – and this deep, velvety blue is shaping up to be my favorite shade yet.
Le Creuset says, 'Nuit is an intense and evocative hue inspired by the mystery of the night. Like a moonlit ocean, the luxurious, velvety color swirls from black to true blue.'
To complement the deep blue shade, Le Creuset's Nuit collection is the first to feature a chrome knob. Each cast iron pot is adorned with a durable, circular handle – not just functional, but reminiscent of a silver moon in the midnight sky.
I've already put the mini cocottes on my Christmas list (a little early I know, but I'm dreaming of serving indulgent desserts at a New Year's dinner party). Here's our guide to the new Le Creuset color, including all the models our kitchen team has tested and approved (some are even in the Le Creuset sale already).

FAQS
Is Le Creuset worth it?
Even at full price, Le Creuset is worth it. Sure, the upfront cost is a lot, but these kitchen essentials will quickly become heirlooms. Le Creuset gives at least a ten-year warranty to all of their products, some come with even more, so when you work out cost per use, it starts making sense to invest in quality over quantity.
