First seen Jan 2025
Last seen Jun 2026

The closest colors in the current Hermès range are Bleu Lin, Gris Mouette, and Carbone. Bleu Lin is lighter and bluer, Gris Mouette is softer and warmer, and Carbone sits much deeper in charcoal territory. For a cooler gray with a green-blue cast that sits in the same mid-gray zone, Gris Misty is the closest comparison.

Gris Pantin has already spread well beyond one model family. Picotin Lock 18 and 22 lead the current mix, but Della Cavalleria, Lindy 26, Roulis mini, Garden Party 30, Bolide 1923-25, and Petite Course stitch bags all show the same cool gray in different leathers.
