At CHANEL, all colors have codes and they are not meant to be hidden. They reveal, enhance, make contrasts more distinct, establish relationships of brightness and saturation, and elude all that is anecdotal. As CHANEL colors embrace singularity, they invite you to be unique as well, and with CODES COULEUR and its marvels, you can do that and a lot more. And to ensure you embark on an unforgettable journey, the French House released 4 new exclusive colors – Incendiaire 147, Fugueuse 127, Ballerina 111, and Immortelle 135 – that will be available on Chanel.com from 21 June.

Now, let us share with you a few codes that will forever change your way of looking at colors as every CHANEL color is a code that sets the tone for all the world’s hues:

-       Gold, Gabrielle Chanel’s Byzantine muse, a notion of light.

-       Silver, a sprinkling of constellations.

-       Beige is not a «nude,» not an absence but an affirmation: natural is a style.

-       Black, a fundamental element of the House, unapologetically bowls over anything in its way to emphasize what is most essential.

-       Blanc White, radical, is a touch of graphic purity reminiscent of op art.

-       Rouge Pirate is an internal dialogue between two primary colors: a red infused with blue.
