Color Inspiration
Chic and modern, Nutmeg strikes an ideal balance between comfort and sophistication, between light and dark. Its distinctive, creamy gradient mirrors the natural coloring of whole nutmeg, a warm, pungent and faintly sweet spice beloved in cuisines around the world. Like the spice, this inviting light gray-brown neutral adds richness to your current kitchen style, whether Nutmeg needs to ground more passionate color pairings with calm depth or enhance a line-up of neutrals with quiet sophistication.
The richer undertones of Nutmeg bring just a hint of drama to the shade, making the color an easy one to pair with others. Layer it with Sea Salt and White for a soothing neutral experience that’s instantly chic—think coastal kitchen. Or, if your style craves more color, bring out Nutmeg’s organic, earthy warmth by accenting it with a punch of Artichaut—a rich, verdant green—and White. Lovers of minimal design may want to embrace the sleeker, sophisticated side of Nutmeg, folding it into a contrasting palette of White and Licorice. Whatever you choose, with a shade as versatile as Nutmeg, the color possibilities never end.
Trend Inspiration
Color trends, like any other trend, are cyclical. Design enthusiasts can trace the rise and fall of particular shades or tones like a wave through the years. One of the most interesting places to observe the changing course of popularity is in neutral colors. Typically, society alternates between preferring warm neutrals and cool neutrals on a predictable pendulum.
Neutral shades that can walk the line are rare, but hold a timeless appeal that rises above the trendy back-and-forth. As a creamy chameleon that can round out cool-toned palettes or ground warmer hues alike, Le Creuset’s Nutmeg joins this selective group of flexible neutrals. The mark of good design is its ability to outlast trends, and with its well-balanced range of tones, Nutmeg is poised to bring beauty to kitchens and family tables for decades to come.
