Privé Porter's Guide To: Hermès Special Colors of the Decade: The Shades That Defined Collecting

Hermès isn’t just about craftsmanship — it’s about color. Over the years, certain shades have gone from boutique exclusives to global obsessions, instantly recognizable to collectors. At Privé Porter, we’ve watched the rise (and sometimes fall) of these “It” Hermès hues, many of which now command premiums on the resale market.

2010s – The Pastels & Dream Shades

Rose Sakura – The ultimate Hermès pink, instantly associated with femininity and rarity.
Gris Mouette – A perfect pale gray that became a neutral icon.
Vert Criquet – A cheerful, almost tennis-ball green that collectors couldn’t resist.

2020s – The New Neutrals & Bold Statements

Vert Fizz – A fresh, icy green tone that made waves in boutiques.
Gris Perle / Nata – The “creamy whites” that now define minimalist Hermès.
Chai – Warm and versatile, fast becoming a staple neutral.

Iconic Shades That Never Fade

Etoupe – The taupe that works with everything.
Bleu Jean / Bleu Nuit – Two blues that collectors fight over, one vibrant, one moody.
Gold – The house classic, always in demand.

Why Colors Matter in Collecting

Seasonal shades disappear — resale market is the only access point.
Certain colors triple in value on specific bag styles (Mini Kelly, Birkin 25).
Neutral vs. statement shades often define collector personality.

From Rose Sakura to Chai, Hermès colors have become as collectible as the bags themselves. Whether you’re drawn to timeless neutrals or rare limited hues, Privé Porter specializes in sourcing the shades you can’t find anywhere else.
