A creamy, warm off-white with subtle yellow undertones. Softer than New White and warmer than Craie, Hermès Nata has a luxurious richness, making it a coveted choice for neutral lovers. It’s the perfect shade for classic styles like the Birkin 25 Nata or Kelly 25 Nata in Epsom leather.

Craie

French for “chalk,” Hermès Craie is a slightly cool-toned off-white with a powdery, muted quality. It’s lighter than Beton but cooler than Nata, making it an elegant and versatile neutral. If you’re looking for a sophisticated staple, the Craie Kelly 25 Epsom leather or Birkin 25 Craie are standout pieces.
