The Worst Hermes Color EVER!?

I actually had a hard time pulling the trigger on my etoupe as it seemed so, well, boring. But once I did I was in love. It's such a wearable color.

As I told my SA, "she's not the prettiest girl in the room, but she's definitely the one you want to hang out with!" :D
it's so versatile

my etoupe birkin 40 goes with everything.

downside is that it truly does look like a huge version of my triangular prism-shaped pencil eraser. it's eerie.
 
Don't really love brown family , rarely wear as a top but must have them as a bag.
To go with the colors of my clothes like pink, orange, blue, lilac,red khaki green and white.

Don't really wear any green clothes at all(except the khaki green) but love to have H green bags as neutrals.

Truly love colors like blue, purple, pink and red that H made and looking forward to see more to come.
 
OK thimp, so other than Pepto Pink, what DO you like??? :p

Goodness, do I sound that bad? :laugh: My favorite colors are purple, red, blue, and pink. I have a yellow undertone to my skin, so I try to stay away from anything that will make me look like a pickle.

BTW, I am in love with your beautiful H collection. So well rounded in colors!

I know we all adore Hermes here, but every once in a while a color is introduced that I cannot for the life of me understand or appreciate. I know there are seasonal limited colors that are only available for a short time and some that don't seem to really "take off" at podium.

Anyway, the point of this thread is just to have some fun. And please any owners of these colors, don't take any offense and please speak up about the hidden charms of these "special" shades. :)

What do you think is the worst Hermes color EVER?

My vote: Toundra

Hey, hey, hey! I got a kelly in Toundra early this year. It got to the point where it was the only one available in the country so I sprang for it. Toundra is a lite khaki (browny-green) that matchs my YSL roady tote, large Muse, and clutch bag which are all in lite khaki. Bought the YSL things before I discovered Toundra. I am not a taupe person and I wear a lot of yellowish & blue greens & teal blues. The K seems to be going nicely with all that, even harmonizing with my cobalt blue stuff. Black or brown would be too heavy with the medium tones that I wear.
 
I am kinda fascinated by the barenia pix I see. Is that a golden brown? Certainly it's not a deep brown.
Do not like true red. Prefer an aubergine color, but raisin, prune, havanne, do not fit the bill. Want a deep purple with equal amounts red and blue in it and with a brownish undertone. Would have gotten a bag in vert anise or chartreuse had I gotten my act together sooner before those colors more or less disappeared. I have a bouganivillea wallet which is fun but too bright IRL for a bag. Etoupe seems to be a very quiet dignified color that nonetheless doesn't sing to me.

making me choose between etoupe and other color, i might choose "other color" but etoupe is a "must have " classic color :)
