What Gris Misty looks like
Gris Misty is a dark slate gray. It is cooler than brown-based taupes and darker than the pale Hermès grays.
The closest Hermès colors are Gris Meyer, Gris Mouette, Carbone, and Gris Étain. That group tells you where Misty sits: firmly in the dark-gray family, with small shifts toward olive, charcoal, or taupe depending on the comparison.
On current bag listings the color shows up most often on the Picotin Lock 18 and 22, plus Lindy 26, Della Cavalleria mini bag II, Bolide 1923 mini, Roulis mini, Evelyne III 29, and Petite Course. On Clémence it looks softer and a little fuller. On smoother leathers it looks flatter and cooler. If you want a shade that stays soft and cool but steps lighter, Bleu Pâle is the closest pale comparison.
