Thank you! I now understand the mystery of the two letters placed before the colors for silks. I have wondered about it, but I would *never* have figured that out.

So useful. I love reading your articles and in-depth research on Hermes @Notorious Pink - thank you for all the effort

I do have one question. I'm constantly confused by differences in Bambou vs Cactus on the Internet. On your chart, Cactus is brighter than Bambou. But in a lot of YouTube videos and reseller websites, Bambou seems much more vibrant green than Cactus. Can anyone confirm if this chart's Bambou/Cactus labelling is accurate? (For example, Tamara Kalinic's cactus kelly actually looks more like what is labelled Bambou in this chart).

Sorry for the OCD - but I'm really interested in a vibrant green (as close to true green as possible, or Emerald) Birkin, just have to figure out what shade I'm actually after.

Hi! I compiled the chart.
My Bambou swatch is from an actual photo taken by me, of a bag owned by me, so it's definitely accurate.
The pic of Cactus was from the internet, but looked accurate on my screen.

I'm a little confused, though, about your question - in my swatches/chart, the Bambou looks quite a lot brighter than the Cactus:



Edited to add: the following swatch colors are from my personal photo collection -

etoupe, etain, noir, bambou, malachite, ciel, bleu encre, raisin, anemone, rose pourpre, rose azalee, rose confetti, rose jaipur, rouge H

That's so weird! On mine Bambou in your swatch looks much lighter. Must be the screen thing. Thank you for clarifying - I am glad to confirm that it is in fact Bambou that is brighter.

Aha! That’s why I posted the photo - Does it look more accurate here?

It does. Though I think I need to see both shades IRL to be sure which one I prefer. So much harder to decide from photos.
