Color Makes the Season—The Key to a Summery Look Is in Your Choice of Hue


Every year, Hermès releases seasonal shades that perfectly capture the essence of summer.


For Spring/Summer 2025, standout new shades like Gris Pantin, Bleu Tie, and Vert Mangrove are making waves. At the same time, past seasonal favorites continue to maintain strong popularity.


This article showcases XIAOMA’s top summer color picks for 2025 by model, introducing both new releases and popular seasonal hues. We also explore how these colors differ from timeless staples like Etoupe and Gold, and consider their long-term value as assets.


Hermès Spring/Summer 2025 Color Highlights|The Must-See Shades of the Season

The Spring/Summer 2025 collection introduces sophisticated yet playful shades that embody the Hermès aesthetic.


Here, we spotlight three particularly noteworthy hues: Gris Pantin, Bleu Tie, and Vert Mangrove.


Gris Pantin|A Cool Blend of Blue and Gray

Gris Pantin combines the translucency of blue with the calm elegance of gray, resulting in a sophisticated blue-gray tone. This refined hue is one of the most talked-about colors of Hermès’ 2025 collection.


Thanks to its gray undertones, it pairs beautifully with light summer attire but also transitions smoothly into fall and winter. While trendy, it is not flashy, making it a perfect entry-level Hermès color.

Bleu Tie is a deep, navy-based blue infused with hints of purple and red, giving it a whimsical, nuanced character. It's a sophisticated take on the classic “blue,” offering both intelligence and elegance.


Though dark, it doesn't feel heavy and works beautifully to balance monochrome or white summer outfits. It transitions effortlessly between casual and formal settings.

How Do These Colors Differ from the Classics?|Comparing with Etoupe and Gold

When exploring Hermès' new or limited summer colors, it’s helpful to compare them with the brand’s staple shades. Among the most popular are Etoupe, Gold, and Trench, which are timelessly beloved and widely available across various models.


Understanding how these signature colors differ from summer hues can help you make a more confident and satisfying choice.


Key Characteristics of Etoupe, Gold, and Trench


  1. Etoupe: A versatile greige tone that transcends seasons. Its adaptability makes it a favorite in both daily use and resale markets.
  2. Gold: A classic warm brown with subtle yellow undertones. It pairs beautifully with iconic models like the Birkin and Bolide, offering a timeless elegance.
  3. Trench: A soft beige with an airy tone perfect for spring and summer. Among natural colors, it stands out for its refined sophistication.


How to Choose Between Classic and Seasonal Shades



Summer Colors as “Elevated Classics”

At first glance, summer colors may appear playful or even bold, but depending on timing and demand, they can hold significant resale value.


Past examples like Bleu Brume and Vert Criquet have earned high praise in the secondary market.


In other words, choosing a fresh seasonal color can sometimes be more impactful than simply opting for a “safe classic.” A unique color from this season might just become your next staple.


How to Choose the Right Hermès Color|Consider the Mood, Occasion, and Your Current Collection

Hermès bags are built to last, but your choice of color can dramatically influence the overall impression and the occasions where the bag shines.


Here, we’ll share three key perspectives to help answer common questions like:

“Which color suits me?” or “How can I choose a color I won’t regret?”


Find a Color That Matches Your Undertone

Choosing a color that complements your skin undertone allows the bag to blend naturally and creates a more polished look. Here are some general guidelines:

  1. For warm undertones: Opt for warm or pastel shades with yellowish hues, such as Vert Mangrove, Trench, or Jaune Poussin.
  2. For cool undertones: Cool or blue-based tones like Bleu Glacier, Bleu Tie, and Gris Pantin tend to work well.


Trying on the bag or comparing photos of people with similar undertones can help you discover your perfect match.


Match the Color to the Occasion (Resort, Office, Daily Use)

Considering the scenarios in which you'll use the bag can also guide your color selection. Tailoring your choice to your lifestyle leads to greater satisfaction.

  1. Resort / Weekend Outings: Go for bright and cheerful hues like Rose Sakura or Vert Peppermint.
  2. Work / Office Settings: Choose calm, cool tones such as Gris Pantin or Bleu Nuit, or go with sophisticated neutrals like Trench or Etoupe.
  3. Everyday Use: Soft, natural shades like Trench or Gold offer effortless versatility.


Balance Your Collection (Choose a Color That’s Not Repetitive)

If you already own several Hermès bags, selecting a new color that doesn't overlap with what you have can expand your styling options.


For example, if you already own Etoupe or Black, consider adding a pop of color like Rose, Blue, or Green as your second or third bag.


Choosing a bold summer color can add richness and personality to your existing collection.

The Joy of Choosing Hermès by Color|Celebrate Seasonality, Value, and Individuality

The appeal of Hermès goes beyond design and materials—it also lies in the power of color. Especially with spring/summer limited editions and new shades, color selection can enhance your fashion experience and even influence the item’s long-term value.


Here are three ways to enjoy Hermès through color.


Enjoy the Season Through Color

Just as weather and sunlight change with the seasons, so too does our desire for certain colors. In spring and summer, hues that are translucent, light, and vivid naturally stand out.


For instance, pale shades like Bleu Glacier or earthy greens like Vert Mangrove perfectly reflect the mood of the season. The act of savoring the seasons through your handbag is a unique luxury that only Hermès can offer.


Popular Colors Often Gain Asset Value

Some colors may go under the radar upon release, only to later skyrocket in popularity as “premium colors.”


Limited editions, short-lived seasonal releases, and rare shades often command high prices in the resale market and have a strong influence on buyback value.


Notable examples include Gris Mouette and Bleu Brume, which continue to be highly valued.


Similarly, newly introduced colors for 2025 like Gris Pantin and Vert Mangrove may also rise in value over time.


Express Your Unique Style

Hermès offers more than just staple shades like black or Etoupe. Your choice of color can reflect your personality, mood, or lifestyle.


"Today, I want something bold."

"Today, I feel like keeping things soft and elegant."


With Hermès, color becomes a way to express your feelings, adding depth and richness to your everyday life.
