Making Sense of Fall’s Hermès Colors

The colorful world of Hermès in 18 color groupings

Hermes Color Matchups

Earlier this month, we published Part I of my Hermès Autumn-Winter 2024 article, featuring the leather colors for the bags this season. To briefly recap, I included my color charts bearing the leather colors, listing currently available leathers, and analysis of bag combinations currently in production.

In this Part II of Hermès Autumn-Winter 2024, I will bring together those leather colors with other metièrs (silk, shoes and Ready-to-Wear), in order to visualize Hermès’ color concepts for Autumn-Winter, and to envision its seasonal aesthetic by illustrating ways to bring various pieces together.

The Current Color Chart for Autumn-Winter 2024

Hermes Fall Winter 2024 Handbag Color Chart

As with most seasons, there is a spectrum of hues in production for Autumn-Winter 2024, ranging from pinks to blues, with at least 1/3 of the colors falling into the neutral category.

When I look at this chart, I notice more oranges than reds and more greens than blues. In addition, I have only seen one purple (Cassis), which indicates that we may see at least one more purple hue trickle in before the end of the season.

Of course, the leathers are just one aspect of Hermès’ vision for the season; there is an inherent unity in the entire podium offering, exemplified through each metièr individually and then through all of them together.

Several years ago, Hermès introduced the concept of color families in its silk metièr, producing various designs in the same general groups of colors.

There has always been some variation – certain silk designs have many of the colors in that “family,” while other designs have very few, and yet still a few more designs seem to be outliers, not attached to any distinct color family – but the general concept of color families makes Hermès’ vision for any season easier to visualize and to implement if one desires.

Matching Up Leather Colors with Silk, Shoes and Ready-to-Wear

I have coordinated (as best I can) scarves that seem to come from the same or similar color families with seasonal pieces from shoes and ready-to-wear. The first four groups here feature shades of pink, blue, and yellow.

The first two in this series feature soft hues while the coloring of last two are bolder; the second and third in this series lean cool, while the first and fourth have more of a mix of cool and warm colors.

Thank you for such a detailed post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Raquelle

YAWN. Can we talk about something more exciting than Hermes?

ClaireN4

And yet, you read the article…?

Charlotte B

Yep. Sadly, the box no long makes many of our hearts go pitty pat. There will always be an audience for all things Hermès, though.

Carly

Do you read PB? They cover several topics. You can always exercise the option of scrolling vs. leaving uncivil comments.

Raquelle

I am entitled to leaving an opinion and I will do so. How many posts do we have to discuss this overhyped brand and their colors? Nothing has changed. It is the same shade of colors in the SAME exact styles. This brand is overplayed. Wake me up when they create something that is new, exciting, and that no one else has.

Laura W

I am entitled to leave an opinion too. Raquelle, you could choose to just be a person with some kindness and manners and not leave such entitled “opinions”. Especially given the amount of effort and work that has gone into this piece by Bari. If hermes doesn’t suit you move along. It suits a great many people who get value from such articles. Leaving your opinions on a brand you don’t like is unnecessary and petty.

Loch

i think we can at least appreciate the effort put into this post – it’s very comprhensive

Charlotte B

True. It took a lot of work to put this post together. Though I’ve gone off the brand, I do appreciate Bari’s effort.

Charlotte B

Thanks for the great article, but I am pretty much done with Hermès. Thanks to the frenzy, the obsessiveness, the gatekeeping, the foolishness, celebrities, and the “influencers” who flaunt their supposed wealth and collections, I just CAN’T. I no longer carry the one, YES, ONE and ONLY beautiful Rouge Brique 35 Birkin that has been a part of my life for the past 20 years. I no longer like the attention it attracts or the message it sends. Nor will I carry the Kelly. For the time being, Bolides and Massais still fly under the radar.

Becky

I’ve been waiting for years it seems for Hermes to start making scarves where green is the main color. Like the vert yucca – that one just makes me swoon! But even when they make any with the slightest bit of green, I’m never able to find them in stores.

Michelle C

Absolutely Beautiful Colors! Some of these items will brighten up my wardrobe!

Laura W

I can’t afford Hermes but gosh they do such good colours. Vert d’eau and Vert Comics are a dream combo on a piece for me. Their scarves are beautiful like art.
