Gris Perle is not close to Etain at all IMO. Etain is a medium grey and Gris Perle is very light. I would say if you have Beton or Craie, you probably don't need Gris Perle as they are the same white based colour with different undertones. If you love grey, and don't mind light coloured bags, then I think Gris Perle can have a spot in your collection, with Etain. I am a grey lover, I don't have Etain yet but it is on my wishlist. I do have Gris Asphalte and I think Gris Perle is different enough to justify it in my collection.

So many ladies being offered Gris Perle :smile:

I agree with this response 100%! I own GP now and I have Etain and Gris Asphalte on my wishlist. And I agree that GP is most similar to Beton/Craie.

Great photo! GP is such a chameleon. :smile: Looks very warm in some lights and cool in others. I was trying to photograph mine for this thread but it looked different in every room, depending on lighting and background colors. I am not a fan of cool colors, blues or cool greys, and yet this color fell seamlessly into my collection and seems to go with everything. The way I see it, it's a shifting creamy grey and it lives in the beton/craie family.

It’s such a classic Hermès color IMO

After looking at the color charts in this post, it looks like Gris Perle is the next closest color to Beton. IMO, the light color leathers tend to reflect/absorb light and change in appearance much more than darker color leathers.

I agree--especially in the togo leather. The togo gives it a powdery, creamy finish. Again, I'm a black, gold, neutral bag girl and GP just goes with everything. Can you tell I'm in love with this color? haha

How prevalent is blue undertone in Gris Perle? I have now spent hours scouring the internet and I see blue undertone. I am not a fan of Bleu Pale or Bleu Glacier type colours. I was looking for light grey. I think I have psyched myself out of Gris Perle and I still really want Beton. I am kind of nervous about seeing the bag now and possibly saying no to my SA.

I have a Gris Perle chèvre B30 with brushed palladium hardware. I don’t see any blue in it even though the lining is done in a blue tone. It shimmers in light and I would describe it as Gris Mouette several shades lighter. Its very versatile and, I have to say, I really like it.
