Orange is orange. No way to mistake it in person. Gold is a warm light tan or a warm medium beige. (The perception of these colors as warm or cool varies by person.)

There are fans of both. Orange is popular for its iconic color status among H fans. Gold is popular for its versatility as a wear-with-everything neutral. Both are unisex colors, so chose the one that you prefer.

There are many pics of these two colors in the Hermes color library, here on tpf. In any case, here's a comparison pic of H.com belts in orange, gold, and natural:

Hi all,

I'm new here. I was wondering if someone can help me out.

I recently came back from Europe, took me 4 stores to get the belt kit. I had to settle for Pewter/White.

The Toronto, Canada store is always out of stock but the online site has just been restocked.

I can't tell the difference between Black/Orange and Black/Gold.

I've seen the Orange in person, but now I need to rely on online pictures if I want to go Black/Gold. Would you say the Gold looks more tan in person? I know monitor colours can throw it off, so I want general opinion.

I should also I'm a guy, would the orange be too girly and I should go for Gold instead?

Your input would be appreciated. I've seen a lot of Orange in this thread, but I haven't seen much Gold.

newmommy_va,

Thank you for your help. I didn't know there was a colour library on this site.

That really cleared it up. I think I will wait till I get an orange (which seems like many months for a lot of people hunting for one).

If they weren't both black on the reverse, I would get both to be honest.

Thanks again for your help.

hi dear! i have some existing pictures here for your reference.
the 24mm i usually pair them with dress/skirts. (high to mid waist)
the 32mm i usually wear them with shorts/jeans. (low waist)
i have seen people wearing the 24mm with shorts and it is gorgeous! particularly with the sydney buckle. but that means i have to get another size to wear on the hips.

for your reference. im 160m tall, UK 6-8, and wear size 70 for the 24mm belt, 80 for the 32mm belt!

have attached the pictures here, HTH!

I'm fairly sure my mother just purchased an orange/chocolate combo. Maybe keep your eye out for that one and grab a gold/black as well? The orange is stunning but gold really is fabulously versatile.

Orange is great and I'm hunting the orange/capucine now!! But I would think the Gold/Black would be the most useful for most guys. I also use gold A LOT! It is like chestnut/carmel color . Here's some pics of Gold. Clearly different than Orange. HTH!

Hello fellow belt fans, I'm finally posting some action snaps! Yesterday, I wore my Domino Belt Buckle, with my Natural Chamonix/White Epsom, 32mm Belt. :smile1:

It *was* worth all the effort to track this set down, yay! I was especially happy to find the Domino Buckle, as I like the way it mimics the shape and finish of my Barenia watch. And I'm loving the color of the Natural Chamonix side of the belt!

STUNNING combo.

Hey from one dude to another...i would get the gold. WAY more versatile. When i choose straps I go with a colour i already have a good amount of in my closet, then for the reverse side i go for versatility. Unless of course you have a lot of orange ide DEF fo for the gold.

I am...BUT I've only worn it once since I got it. I LOVE it, but most of the fits I've worn it with I was either too scared to wear it for that occasion, or my LV Damier Azur belt was a better match. Its funny, my favorite belts (ALL my Hermes and my leopard print YSL) get worn the least.

I'm sure it will find it's way into your wardrobe! ;) I thought I'd be wearing the white side more, but I'm so in love with the color of the natural chamonix, so versatile. I'll likely use that side, more.

PS - Love your avatar...continue to be in awe of their immense creativity. Just watched the documentary 'George Harrison - Living in the Material World'. Interesting, and really well done.
