It is close to electric blue. Here's a pic of mine (post 15,074) which I think is the cw you are contemplating. This photo is quite true to the actual colour.
I avoided using the term electric blue since H has a scarf color bleu electrique and this is not it
But I absolutely agree yours is BRIGHT blue
The H colors are terribly precise, and difficult to describe, BRIGHT is an accurate descriptor
My term bleu dur is accurate but so esoteric as to be not terribly informative (useless) lol

A Google search got me the right shade for both bleu dur and bleu klein :biggrin: I am unfamiliar with the H color dictionary (in that, I am passingly familiar with the names, but I couldn't correctly identify which is rose shocking/indien/mexico/scheherezade/etc. if you put the swatches in front of me). I should have been more careful, though, because yes, I am aware of (and probably *could* identify!) bleu electrique.

With that, though, I shall (wistfully) turn this one down, just because I'm too timid about the color. I do hope that one of you lovelies nab it, though! Like I said, seller offered me US$450, so use that to inform any offers you may make.
 
That said, I've had my eye on this for quite a while now - a Collections Imperiales in the blue cw, which features a more digestible blue than the Lumieres. It actually has a similar paned effect, come to think of it! It just went on sale, so I'm ready to pounce if you all give the go-ahead. The photos aren't fantastic (not many details), but it doesn't give off any weird vibes.

Thank you all for all your help on this one and the Lumieres!!
 
Item: BNWT Rare Tiger, Tyger Cashmere Scarf Shawl Alice Shirley
Listing number: 17934397 on heroine.com
Seller: champagnepapi
Link:https://www.heroine.com/listings/17...yger-tyger-cashmere-scarf-shawl-alice-shirley
Comments: This is a selling platform/website I'm unfamiliar with. It looks like it might be affiliated with grailed, another I don't know much about?

Thanks for your expert eyes, guys!
I’m unfamiliar with this site also, but I would request additional images from seller showing detail photos of copyright and artist signature. I see them on the entire scarf pic, but resolution is too low to authenticate.

Listing lacks photos of artist signature, title and complete Hermès-Paris marks to authenticate.
Can you request those from Seller?

Wow, that CW is bright, very different from purple. I own this scarf in the brown/orange type cw. Not sure you have my thanks for pointing out in your old post the Dr. Who reference to the Weeping Angels. Now I will never unsee this reference. IMO "Blink" was one of the scariest Dr. Who's ever. :smile:
 
I believe the new photos are everything below the image of the care tag. As far as returns go, if we're feeling pretty good about this being authentic now, then there'd be no avenue for returns (big downside to buying on Posh). I'd have to offload it myself, which considering the design and colorway, probably wouldn't be too difficult in this case, but would still be a hassle nonetheless.

Generally speaking, I'm not a stickler for condition. Wrinkles, an itty bitty pulled thread - meh (I'd even consider serious pulled threads on a CSGM since those seem to happen without much effort anyway). Probably could even deal with flattened hems. Big stains or holes are a definite nah. This scarf definitely meets my condition requirements.

The color is a different story. Electric blues scare the bejeebus out of me. I don't have anything similar at home to do a drape test. Lots of purples and greens - hence my initial excitement!! - but this blue would sadly probably end up languishing. Mod shots of others' here on the forum aren't doing much to dispel my skepticism. As much as I love this design, this is a *lot* of money (they were offering $450, a little over retail) for a scarf that I'm afraid I wouldn't wear often.

Anyone care to convince me otherwise? :lol:
the real version of this scarf is VERY blue, so if you're scared of electric blues you might be terrified.

I’d request a detail photo of copyright (© HERMÈS) to confirm as the resolution of full scarf image isn’t clear enough to definitively authenticate.
@turfnsurf and @Croisette7 thank you lovely ladies! The seller sent me some better photos.
