POLL: What's the Favorite Hermès Gray?

From L to R: Gris Asphalt, Glycine, Chamonix, Craie, Gris Tourterelle, and BARENIA® Faubourg from @sparkledolll

With the recent addition of Gris Asphalte to the Hermès gray lineup, we thought it time to play: What’s your favorite shade of Hermès gray?

Hermès newest gray release has re-sparked our community obsession with neutrals. We’ve seen a huge influx of submissions to our #pursebopshermesneutralcomparisonshots hashtag on Instagram. All of your fabulous comparison shots of everything from “Gris Asphalte vs. Gris Tourterelle” and “Etain vs. Etoupe” inspired us to compile a comprehensive visual diary as a useful reference for those still in search of their perfect neutral.

PurseBop of all people knows that navigating the neutral world can be difficult, and last year she thoroughly documented her journey of adding a neutral to her collection. The advice and pictures from our community were instrumental in the process, and our first neutral poll drew a lot of attention. Since we value your opinion so much, after viewing the comparison pictures please scroll to the new poll below and let us know if your favorite Hermès gray has changed considering the recent addition of Gris Asphalte (GA) to the H color collection.

And don’t worry, we included a few other neutrals besides gray in these photos to fully satiate your neutral palette!
