Dear birkinmary, I love to see that you are posting here on tPF now and then and share with us things from your beautiful Hermès collection.
You know so well how to compose and use different colours. This yellow together with the rich red tones is exquisite and joyful.
Your pictures are always eye candy!
Pictures of the Robe du Soir! (cw 18, menthe/marine/encre/blanc )
In my bedroom, directly under the light fixture, box corner left in for color calibration:
See? Closeup:
The section that includes the circles is "navy". Reminder, here is the photo on h.com:
Ok, here is where it gets interesting. I took it to the window (grey day but natural light) and to my eyes it looked the same, maybe a little more contrast, but here is what the camera saw:
Look, I don't think I'm color-blind, but I swear that is not what it looks like in real life, even in natural light.
I'm contemplating if I need a black/black-to-the-visible-eye scarf. I am dubious.
ETA: I must admit, the lighting in my bedroom is apparently way off natural light, as you can see from the whites. I will think about my light bulbs.

Interesting to hear your thoughts. I am also struggling with a CW of this design. I am surprised that anything can wash you out! I think you always wear vibrant colors successfully.
If anyone can give an explanation of this new tag fiasco, I would love to hear it. My SA just rolled her eyes.
You are too kind, Moma! Next time I’m at a store I will try on some “wash-me-out!” cws and take some pics just for you. [emoji12]
Is there a particular cw of Favolosa you’re considering? This is the one I was talking about - the colors are gorgeous but it’s too bold - you can’t see practically any elements of the design.
ETA: At second glance, maybe that’s just because of the way I tied it... will have to look at it again.
BUT - this is the same cw as the Sea Surf and Fun one.

And although Im chomping at the bit to see it, Modernisme Tropical 140 comes in a similar cw too.
Agree with BBC and others about why H would make all the cws so homogenized. This season’s designs are almost all hits, but color is equally important. Whoever made that decision should be flogged with a wet noodle. Or made to wear all the similar cws and forced to guess which is which while hooked up to a machine that gives ‘em a slight shock every time they get an answer wrong. Heh heh.

Oops, I gues I can’t add a photo when editing a post. Here’s the Sea Surf sand one:
Dagnabit. I still can’t remember the name of this scarf correctly. I have no idea why I keep having such a hard time with it!
