Baby Blue!

It may be worth heading for the reference section of the forum and have a look at the various blues. I find that so useful, there are hundreds of clear photos. In real life I found bleu brume a soft grey rather than a pale blue. Blue zephyr is more what I'd call s baby blue.
 
I had a K25 Bleu Brume GHW on my list but my SA surprised me with a Mini K Bleu Glacier Ostrich GHW late last year, which I love.

I still want a light blue K25 though - do you guys think Bleu Brume & Blue Glacier are too similar? If so, any recommendations for a true, light, pastel blue that suits GHW? Or should I give up on a light blue K25 if I already have the Bleu Glacier birdie?
 
Here is a picture of three light blues.

The halzan exterior is blue pale, interior is blue glacier and the calvi is blue brume.

The picture is taken under a warm white light. Hope this helps in your decision.View attachment 4947432
This is extremely helpful, thank you! Bleu Glacier could not look more different from BB in your photo. I suppose my best bet is to bring the MK to the store and compare with Bleu Brume swatches and see... If not, perhaps I wait for a new season pastel blue.

The color of your ostrich bag in your avatar is stunning!

Hey! I think they're different enough to justify all three bags if you really like the colour. I wanted a Bleu Brume Kelly too, but was offered Bleu Pale and just couldn't say no. Your bleu glacier ostrich MK is tempting me sooo much to ask my SA about one :love: :love: :love: I also think that K25 and MK are different enough to have bags in those sizes. Plus, just think of how many black bags most of us have in our closets... and we still buy more black bags haha.

I took a photo for you of my Bleu Pale k28 with my Bleu Brume oran charm and Bastia (so you can at least see the difference between BP and BB and compare to your Evelyne).

Long story short: Try to get a BB K too! There's no such thing as too much light bleu :)IMG_9123.jpg

This is so helpful, thank you! BG in Ostrich just seems to appear a lot bluer than in regular leather so that's my main concern, but going to take it out on its maiden voyage (still haven't worn it yet :sad: ) to the store in the coming weeks and compare with a swatch of BB. You're right though, can never have too much blue :lol: will report back with a final decision!
 
Hello!!

I remember placing my wish a long time ago with the Hermes boutique for a Kelly in bleu lin, then, because I bought the Chanel Trendy in a blue lin kind of shade while I was waiting for so long.. I changed my Hermes wish for a grey, and they actually offered me a Kelly 28 in etain (which I took of course).
Now, I wanted to add a light colored grey/blue or blue/grey Hermes in my collection and was hunting a Kelly bleu glacier...
I bought a "bleu glacier" today which happens to be actually a "bleu lin" (mistake in the listing...).
So... based on your experiences with the baby types of blues from Hermes, would it be better to invest in this bleu lin or a bleu glacier?? what would be your most favorite??
I know I should take the one that speaks more to me but it's so tricky because my first wish was indeed the bleu lin but the one I was actually trying to get is the bleu glacier!!! I am going nuts!!! it's really driving me crazy as I know bleu lin is a great shade and I read your comments and it looks like such an amazing blue!!
What would you do?? if you have an experience with these two shades or a thought you wish to share with me it would be so nice!
it's a bit tricky and I am losing it :D I wonder if finding the Lin is a blessing in disguise... :D
