The red is a true red, slightly blue red, no orange in the crane. The red in the H is slightly warmer.
The various shades of green are intense. This is a very vibrant shawl, and the black waves pop.
The turquoise touches are lovely, but I don't think the greens work for me.
I'm going to try it with a couple of things to see if I can justify it, we'll see...

TY Monceau! Not to kill you with questions but is the red in the shawl a true red... brite red like Rouge Casaque??? My monitor reads your pic as a true red like this...
The red in the H and the touches in the turquoise border are like the red in your print, the red in the crane is a little cooler (a touch of blue-red)
 
Thank you for the additional pics Monceau!

I honestly think I need a GM intervention. I cannot seem to get enough! I have felt this before but then along came the CDC bracelets and gave the GMs some breathing space, LOL! Argh!

I'm with you on the intervention! You have a fabulous collection, lovely, especially you ELenK 01 and 08.
This 06 is an intense beauty, but I'm not sure we are meant to be together. I've never seen colors like these put together on an H shawl (or anywhere else, for that matter.) it is unique, so I will have to give it some consideration, but something is telling me that 08 may be better suited to me.

I think that is why I'm so drawn to this cw. I already loved the design, no question.
Did u find this in the US? I guess I need to call my SA to see if there are any left....

I found it in the US after much searching. I think this cw would work well on you, since 01 looks so fabulous on you. They both have an intensity that requires a magnetic personality. I'm a bit of a wallflower, so I'm not sure I can pull it off...
It's a captivating eye catcher, so there's no way to go unnoticed when entering a room.
 
06 arrived and it is spectacular, but it is not me. I LOVE looking at this cw, and it looks fabulous on PoliticalGal, La Vie en Rose, and Lala, but I can't pull off the intense yellow-green. This is such a vibrant and glorious cw, but I feel like the shawl is wearing me, so I must say adieu.
For now, 05 works best for me. Looking forward to seeing 08 IRL...

cw06 looks beautiful on you- I never saw it irl so it is a treat to see it here

Thank you, toujours! You have exquisite taste, so I really appreciate your compliment. :hugs:
I searched high and low for months to locate this cw, but I'm not sure I have the moxie to pull it off. I naturally gravitate towards neutrals, so this much color is quite a step for me. The color combination of 06 is striking and unique, but I feel most comfortable in cw 05 of this design, which some might consider bland. I was told that it was a stroke of luck to find, so I would like to make it work, but I'm still undecided...
 
My humble pair of cw 01 and Prada Tote in Bluette cw. Aren't they complimenting each other? :)

I actually think this looks great on you, Monceau! The interesting mix of colors is what really drew me in, but if you aren't 100% in love then you should pass on it. The one guarantee with Hermes is that there is always something new and beautiful coming right around the corner :smile1:

Oh, I LOVE them all! We are silk twins :)
I would love to get it in cashmere, but kind of cannot justify its price vs. quality everybody is complaining about:(.

Thank you! Honestly, if you love the cashmere, you should consider trying one. I have worn all of mine a lot with zero issues and I don't really take an excessive amount of care with them. If it were to pill over time or get a pull in it, the design is so fabulously busy that I don't think you would really notice it as much as you might with something that has large swaths of solid colors.

Oh my goodness this colorway just set me on fire. I need it!

I'm happy to enable and I hope you find it soon! :D

OMG! I must have it! You and PG are killing me today!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since I have never seen IRL, lemme just make sure... are the "waves" black and white????

You need it, you neeeeeeeed it! :graucho:

Thank you for posting these! They all look lovely on you! Such a gorgeous design!

Thank you, lovely!
