Chanel’s symbolic colours
↳ Black and White together

Black and white together, because one cannot exist without the other; because they are absolutely pure and in perfect accord; because they are the streak of Karl Lagerfeld’s pen; because they are the signature of Chanel. (x)

Chanel’s symbolic colours
↳ Red

Red because “it’s the colour of life, of blood” as Gabrielle Chanel said. Red because it permits, when used as a lining of a purse, a quick find of what one is looking for. Red because, worn on the lips, it became Gabrielle’s signature and her declaration of good spirit. “If you’re sad, add more lipstick and attack. Men hate women who weep.” Mademoiselle asserted. Red, bacuse it is the colour of passion, of courage, of fire and of energy. (x)

Chanel’s symbolic colours
↳ Gold

Gold, because it embraces both the genuine and the faux: the genuine gold given to Gabrielle by the Duke of Westminster, the imitation gold of the costume jewelery that she endlessly invented. Gold because of the religious relics and the clerics’ brocade robes that ornamented her childhood. Gold because of the treasures from St Mark’s Cathedral in Venice, the Byzantine Empire or the baroque art that always inspired her. Gold, because it shines within the n°5 bottle, because it adorns the chain of the quilted bag and the buttons of suits. Gold because it is the triumph of Chanel. (x)

Chanel’s symbolic colours
↳ Beige

Beige because it’s warm, simple, natural; because it’s the colour of Mademoiselle’s native Alvernia, the beaches of Deauville, Biarriz, and the Venetian lido. Because it is for her the colour of the outdoors, of a natural complexion and the healthy glow of skin kissed by the sun. Beige because, against the sacred union of black and white, it offers a counterpoint, an element of neutrality and heightened elegance. Beige because with Chanel make-up it revives the skin. (x)

Chanel’s symbolic colours
↳ White

White, because in the beginning there was white. Because it captures light, illuminates the face, enhances beauty. Because it’s the color of absolute transparency and transcendence: white, because it reminds Coco of the cornets of the nuns from her childhood and of the communion dress given to her by her father. White, because it illuminates Coco’s strands of pearls, her camelias and the bouquets of flowers that surround her with perpetual spring. White like her timeless silk pyjamas, like the dress that she wore to Diaghilev’s funeral. White like satin, like chiffon and, offset with black braids, the white tweed of the Chanel suit. (x)

Chanel’s symbolic colours
↳ Black

Black because it accentuates the essential and recalls the monastic rigor of the uniforms of the Aubazine Orphanage. Because for Gabrielle Chanel it “reveals a woman’s radiance”.
Thanks to Chanel, black evolved from the garments of servants and those in mourning to become, since 1926, the color of elegance, epitomized by the little black dress.
“I imposed black; it reigns still because black trumps all” Madmoiselle declared.
Black because it creates depth among other colours, because it stands out against a white label, shines in the make-up cases of luxurious lacquer, lines eyelids and enhances lashes. (x)
