Bleu Nuit

What Bleu Nuit looks like

Bleu Nuit is a very dark blue with a muted gray cast. It can look almost black in dim light, but the blue becomes clear beside black or charcoal gray.

The closest Hermès colors are Bleu Indigo, Navy, Bleu Océan, Caban, Vert Foncé, and Graphite. The first three are the most useful comparisons: two other near-black blues and a dark blue-green gray.

Bags we’ve seen include the Picotin Lock 18, Evelyne III 29, and Néo Garden 23. The rounded Picotin and Evelyne shapes show the color across softer-looking surfaces, while the Néo Garden gives it a straighter, more structured outline.

Bleu Nuit by leather

Four leathers have both Hermès bag photos and preowned examples in the listings we tracked: Togo, Clémence, Evercolor, and Swift.

Togo

In Togo, Bleu Nuit is a dense dark blue; the grain breaks up the surface without making it look lighter.

On grained Clémence, Bleu Nuit remains very dark but has a softer, less flat-looking surface than it does on smooth leather.
