Does the color of my Birkin or Kelly affect its value?
Absolutely.
Color is one of the most important components of Hermès resale pricing.
Classic neutral colors generally have a broad buyer audience. Seasonal colors can perform extremely well when they become fashionable or difficult to obtain.
But rarity doesn’t automatically mean higher value.
A rare color still needs a buyer.
The strongest resale combination is usually a bag where rarity and actual consumer demand meet.
