New colour collection | Sur les traces de Cezanne

We are delighted to present 'Sur les traces de Cezanne', Mercadier’s latest colour collection, now available at Maison Anna B.

Inspired by the life and landscapes of Paul Cezanne, this 20-shade palette transports you straight to the sun-drenched heart of Provence, where light and shadow dance across hills, orchards, and the iconic Montagne Sainte-Victoire.

Each hue is a tribute to the painter’s world: the gentle warmth of ochres, the depth of verdant greens, the serenity of subtle blues. More than colour, it's atmosphere, emotion, and memory captured in beautiful finishes, including lime paint and microcement.

A Palette Born From Provence

Cezanne’s Provence was a place of endless inspiration. From the quiet elegance of his studio at Les Lauves to the rugged beauty of the Bibémus quarries, every corner shaped the master’s eye and palette. ‘Sur les traces de Cezanne’ allows us to step into that world, to feel the textured landscapes, the soft Provencal light, and the intimate spaces that informed his vision.

The collection is a dialogue with nature and history, inviting us to experience the region not just visually, but emotionally. Walls become canvases, interiors transform into living art.

20 Shades of Cezanne

Each shade in Mercadier’s collection is named for a facet of Cezanne’s life or a moment in Provence, evoking both the physical and the poetic:

BASSIN – a delicate stone grey reflecting the calm of Mediterranean waters. Perfect for a minimalist living room with linen sofas and oak floors, evoking calm Mediterranean mornings.
CÉLESTE – a soft sky blue, serene and timeless. Let it wash a bedroom in serenity, paired with crisp white linens and brushed brass accents.
ATELIER – a neutral grey echoing the quiet creativity of Cézanne’s studio. Ideal for a study or library, grounding the space with leather-bound books and deep wood tones.
L’ESTAQUE – a muted blue recalling the coastal village where Cézanne found inspiration. Works beautifully in a sunroom, with wicker chairs and green plants echoing the nearby Mediterranean.
POMMES – a lively green with sunlit highlights, reminiscent of orchard boughs. Bring it to the kitchen, paired with ceramic tiles, wooden counters, and fresh herbs for a lively, organic atmosphere.
BASTIDE – a gentle blue-violet capturing the essence of Provencal farmhouses. Use in a powder room or entryway for a subtle yet sophisticated statement.
JARDIN – an earthy green, the verdant depth of gardens alive with growth. Perfect for a feature wall in a dining room, complemented by natural linens and terracotta accents.
MADAME – a luminous, Mediterranean-inspired blue, elegant and expressive. Ideal for a lounge, accented with golden details and textured throws for a luxe coastal vibe.
POT – a minted green, fresh and vibrant, like herbs in a sun-drenched kitchen. Refresh a home office or kitchenette with this vibrant, optimistic hue.
MODÈLE – a deep brown with red undertones, grounding interiors in natural beauty. Sophisticated in a library or home office, paired with warm woods and brass lighting.

CHAPEAU – a golden yellow, warm as the afternoon sun. Invigorates hallways or kitchen walls, paired with natural fibers for a sunlit glow.
HORTENSE – a tender beige-pink, a nod to familial warmth. Elegant in bedrooms or dressing rooms, harmonizing with soft linens and rosewood furniture.
LUMIÈRE – an amber ochre, evoking light streaming through windows. Use as a feature wall in a living room to capture afternoon light with warmth and depth.
EMILE – a soft, aged white reminiscent of weathered Provencal walls. A canvas for any space, perfect in open-plan areas with greenery and rattan furniture for effortless elegance.
CARRIÈRE – a terracotta with natural vibrancy, inspired by local quarries. Ideal for accent walls in a kitchen or living area, pairing beautifully with raw wood and hand-thrown ceramics.
LE JAS– a sandy limestone beige, evoking Cezanne’s family estate. Use it in hallways or corridors for understated sophistication and natural warmth.
JOUEURS – a rich reddish-brown, capturing earthy, sunbaked tones. Elegant in a reading nook or study, creating intimacy and depth with leather furnishings and low lighting.
NATURE – a smoky brown, the raw elegance of untouched landscapes. Perfect for grounding interiors, ideal for a library, office, or cozy living room.
CABANON – a rustic brown-terracotta, echoing the painter’s humble retreats. Brings a lived-in, sunbaked feeling to interiors, perfect for a kitchen or dining area with wooden accents.
PORTRAIT – a deep, earthy brown, a reflection of character and substance. Dramatic and grounding for statement walls, paired with brass, velvet, and tactile textiles.

Each shade can be expressed in paint, lime paint, or microcement, giving you the flexibility to bring Cezanne’s world into any room or surface.

Make Your Space a Work of Art

More than decoration, this refined palette is an ode to Provence and the legacy of Cezanne, a dialogue with nature, art, and memory.
