Le Creuset Dijon Or Citron Yellow?

Which of these two yellows to you prefer? I think the Dijon might go a little better with the other bright colors, but the Citron is a softer, prettier yellow and not as aggressive. Wish there was one in between the two ;-).

    Dijon looks more old-fashioned and French to me. (Both good things!)

      I'm going to go against the norm here. I like the bolder Dijon.
      Citron makes me think of little girls pastel easter dresses, not that that's a bad thing.
      Dijon just reminds me so much more of a bright sun on a beautiful day.

        I like both colors, but between the two, I probably prefer citron yellow.

            Have you thought about buying it piece-by-piece? There are four different pieces available on eBay right now: http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_...

            I like both but prefer the Citron. The Dijon is a little too much taxi cab yellow for me and a bit harsh. . The Citron is a softer, prettier shade of yellow. I also didn't like the way the Dijon looked with my Kiwi. I have a mix of colors and they all have to play nice with each other. My 5.5 qt. round is Citron.

                  Citron. It's close to the yellow Staub I have that I love. Much more sunny and pretty.

                    I like the look of Citron a lot better - it is very striking. But since mine is a guy's kitchen we don't do yellows.
