Colour Kaleidoscope

      There are reportedly well over 75,000 different colours in the Hermes “Colour Kitchen”.  And new colours are being created each season.  Chromatic families, you ask … ??  How high can you count?  Pantones, you ask .. ??  NEVER !   The House uses hues.   And the large team of Hermes silk colourists doesn’t use computers, they do it the old fashion way .. manually, photographically.. using abstract visual formulas.
