Ah! I forgot that my scarf is supposed to blend in to the hunting landscape!Must violently disagree LOL the CHAMPIGNONS does not count as brown. It is in the Taupe category, but not Brown.
Brown has to be darker - let me get out my photo of a REAL BROWN CHAMPIGNONS . I spent years finding an optimal cw of CHAMPIGNONS - i had to have the original multi color mushrooms not the revised monochrome ones, and I went for dirt brown from ca 1990. Jean Louis Dumas did some chocolate browns in 1980 - 1990s like my mushrooms
Prior to that were two browns. Noisette is very 1970s - hazlenut - a very golden brown. I dont have one from the 1970s but my COMTESSE DE SEGUR 1980s looks noisette on balance due to the cornucopeia of browns and golds.
The early brown was that in my COURBETTES from the 1960s. An indescribable color, dark, dull, almost camouflage khaki - definitely from the dull hunting color palettes - you wore your scarf out shooting and were supposed to blend in
Agree that the lighter shades like etoupe are fashionable now, I think of all the lather colors like Tourterelle, Poussiere, Etoupe - all of those non browns LOL I guess they fall in the dreaded beige category
A photo from the Carre Club event. You could suggest names for Hermes colours!

Dont we all go out fox hunting ? LOLAh! I forgot that my scarf is supposed to blend in to the hunting landscape!![]()
This was in Singapore last year. I "merely" stayed 5 hours there and it was not enough time to experience everything.Wow! Where was this? I would have loved it! Thanks for posting
it is a leather folding stool ....Glad you enjoy this thread, we'll invite all out fox hunting next time
An old mystery ad ... typical of 1950s stuff - from the heyday of Linares and his dead animals - she is holding shotgun shells in her hand and holds a folding leather in the other hand - those folding chairs appear in all the old Hermes catalogs, they sold em by the boatload
Well, if you like shotguns, it will have to be for the next grouse hunt
Only certain shades of yellow and brown for me - I'm learning from my mistakesIt is almost impossible to discuss colors referring only to one's own scarves, I dont buy certain colors AT ALL - no yellow for me...
