New Hermès Colors for Fall-Winter 2026

In our first look at the new Hermès colors for 2026, we explored a palette grounded in rich neutrals and confident statement shades, from Bai Brun and Carbone to Purple and Jaune Mango. But Hermès isn’t finished expanding its color offering just yet.

A second wave of shades is emerging for Fall-Winter 2026, although not all are entirely new to the Hermès archive. Returning colors have been refreshed, while others bring another hue to the portfolio. Together, they take the palette in a lighter, more playful direction, offering a refreshing counterpoint to the deeper tones typically associated with Fall-Winter.

Granny

Granny is a crisp, acidic green that brings the brightness of a fresh Granny Smith apple to the Hermès palette. After a hiatus, the shade is back in the spotlight, having first appeared in the 1990s as Vert Cru before returning under the Granny name in 2005. Highlighted on the Fall-Winter 2026 runway, the statement-making shade appeared on the Plume in vibrant Doblis suede. With a yellowish undertone, it has an electric quality that makes it far more vibrant than the botanical-leaning greens in the Hermès repertoire.

Vert d’Eau

Also back for 2026 is Vert d’Eau, a rare pale and translucent green used for exotic leathers like matte matte alligator and crocodile. This season, though, reports suggest that this sea glass-like hue will grace classic leathers like Veau Madame and Swift. An alternative to Vert Fizz, Vert d’Eau is noticeably deeper and richer in tone, giving the shade greater depth without losing its aqua marine quality.

Ciel

Hermès moves from the sea to the sky, bringing back Ciel, a crisp pale blue shade reflecting a summer day. This 2009 shade never left the roster but has been seen only sporadically over the years. Cooler in tone than shades like Bleu Zéphyr, it has a crispness that keeps it feeling bright Cooler in tone than shades like Bleu Zéphyr, Ciel has a clean, airy quality, while its subtle undertone sets it apart from grayer blues such as Bleu Brume. The result is a delicate, powdery pastel that feels light and open — a clear sky blue rather than a cloudy one.

Vanille

Soft, creamy and distinctly yellow-toned, Vanille sits somewhere between Nata and Jaune Milton. Gold hardware draws out its golden side, while Palladium creates a gentler contrast, making Vanille read almost like a pale dessert cream. While not new, its return for Fall-Winter 2026 is particularly interesting given its long association with exotic leathers and Special Orders – signaling a move into classic leathers this season such as Clemence.

Canari

Canari is a vivid, clear yellow that feels like the slightly cooler, punchier counterpart to Spring-Summer 2026’s Jaune Mango. While both shades have a similarly saturated quality, Canari has less of an orange undertone, reading as a cleaner, brighter yellow. Sunny and energetic, it grabs attention without neon lights, making it an easy statement shade in its own right.
