Le Creuset color question

faeriemoon · ‎03-14-2010

Does anyone have anything in either the oyster or truffle color? I'm interested in getting some espresso mugs and I would like to try to get a color that has shades of both brown and grey in it.

To me the oyster looks very grey (but the name implies a touch of beige, I think), and the truffle looks very brown (but the name implies a touch of grey.) Anyone have either?

TIA.

One of my 1qt cast iron LC pots is the oyster. I'd say it's pretty much straight up shades of grey. I don't see any brown in there, which works for me as I don't care for brown. It's quite lovely unless you really don't like grey.

I agree with chickenbutt. I have several items in oyster and it's definitely shades of grey. I do think the truffle and oyster colors would work together though.

I just checked the oyster color out of curiosity and it looks gray. I wanted to check out truffle if someone has an item number. Oyster is a very pretty color.

Now, why did you go and do that? I've never seen that container before but now I want it in red. I don't do coffee, but that doesn't matter. *sigh*

Truffle is in the brown family. Thanks.

Might long pasta fit in it?

I have the Le Creuset mug in truffle. The colors on the mugs are gradient...from darker to light. The bottom part is a deep milk chocolate, shading into a deep taupe. The handle is the lighter color, but does have a very slight grayish tint to it. It is definitely a brown color overall, instead of a gray. It's very attractive. The mugs have a beige color inside.
