First seen Feb 2024
Last seen Jun 2026

The closest Hermès colors are Vert Amande, Gris Misty, Carbone, Gris Mouette, and Étoupe. That cluster shows why Gris Meyer can be hard to place at first glance: it is gray first, but it always keeps some olive or stone in it.

On current bag listings the color turns up on Lindy 26, Picotin Lock 18, Roulis mini, Maximors II, Plume mini, So Medor, Jypsiere mini, and Della Cavalleria mini. Evercolor keeps it crisp. Clémence and Togo pull more earth into it.
