Ah that pink and purple one is so pretty! I've been stalking the US site pretty regularly for the OTB and this is the only one I've seen:

More options on the UK site (I got restless and bought the one with the black hem from a re-seller, trying to be patient and wait for others!)

Sorry to bother again!

Does anyone have IRL pictures of the Hermes story scarf in red
a few: these are in artificial light, and comparing the grenadine of Hermes Story with the grenadine of Les leopards shawl—both have grenadine as first color on the tag. Not shown, but also in natural light the HS red (grenadine) looks less saturated than the Leopards red.

This is classic Hermes - the color term eg grenadine is not standardized. Two bleu canard ones of mine ca 2007, one is much darker than the other.
They tweak the colors for each design in several ways. They may mix the colors differently but use the same name - eg 10 tsp of red and 10 tsp of blue vs 10 tsp of blue and 9 tsp of red - both get the same name violet.
Another variant is to apply less of a pigment to one scarf than to other - design A gets 1 C of violet, while design B gets 0.75 C of violet
And one scarf may have different impression than the other - lighter versus darker due to surrounding colors.

There are only so many color names to go around and the space for the colors (on the store tag) keeps getting smaller
