Thanks Helen & Saer. Yes, WS is guilty of playing those games. Sometimes the label even gives the original LC color. During their after Xmas sale there was a piece in their Sonoma green color. Instead of that name on the box it said Classic Green, which is the actual color name that LC sold everywhere. They insisted though it was the Sonoma green. Their dark blue color that was prior to the Azure was called Electric blue and they were calling that Sonoma Blue.

I wonder if WS will pick up the Cassis and what they will call it. Their Citron was called Citrus before when it was done in the iron pepper casserole and stoneware.

Hi Sheelah,
Certain retailers have made arrangements with Le Creuset to market the same color by a different name. For instance Sur La Table calls their bright green enamelware Kiwi and Williams Sonoma calls it Lemongrass. I have a few pieces from each of them and they are identical. The people from Le Creuset told me it is the same color exactly. It’s just for marketing purposes so that each of the retailers can claim exclusivity (which they do for the name, but not the color). Sort of a silly marketing game if you shop at both stores!

Shellah, I explained in my blog the color is indeed called Cassis, I think for marketing the Signature Store chose to call it fig. I have already bought both colors in the stoneware… I’m in LOVE! Michele, Sur La Table is also selling white but with the silver handle… good luck & HAPPY NEW Year!!!

[...] alive!” After months of searching for purple versions of Le Creuset products, which I documented on my blog, and finally giving in and purchasing several pieces on eBay, at last the Le Creuset [...]

I went to look at Sur La Table but they just have the Cassis color in the cast iron. The Lilac is only in the stoneware. I assume the Cassis is the Fig color or is it yet another purple? It would be strange though for LC to name two similar looking colors two different names. Maybe the one the signature stores have is called Fig abroad, and the same color is called Cassis here. Anyone know if they are the same or two different colors?

Sur La Table has both the lilac and cassis colors. They are periwinkle and eggplant in color, respectively. I personally am dying to get my hands on the eggplant. I hate paying full price for absolutely anything but I also know I can’t sit around and risk not getting the color I want. I don’t know. But in the meantime, I’m going to hit up Marshall’s & TJ Maxx to see what they have.

I’m in love! I love my le creuset but I really don’t like the colors . I always envy Giada’s White ones but from what I’ve read, they don’t make it anymore, at least not the one I want. Now I have something new to pine over.
