Apple will never release an orange close to Hermes ... because of their licensing agreement with Hermes. If you want that colour then you just have to bite the bullet.

This I absolutely agree with.

(which is the best orange by far).

Here I have to disagree. Colours are always a matter of personal taste and I for one wear the fun Kumquat/Papaya much more often than the quite (to my eyes) dark and subdued Hermès.

That said, my wife has all the oranges Apple has made, and I am pretty happy with only OG Orange and Hermes. I bought Papaya a while back when I got the chance to pick it up after it was discontinued, but really I never wear it.

My recommendation is to buy Hermes and move on as it will make you happier than any of the Apple "not quite there" oranges.
I ended up doing this and I was right. I got the Hermes strap from Chargerstore on ebay and it's the exact orange I wanted. Didn't bother with any of the other ones, that I knew would just bother me for not being 'quite right.'

True enough. Ever since I got the Hermès orange band I haven't worn any of the other oranges in my collection (Clementine is an exception and always will be).

Spicy Orange is probably the closest but that one is nearly impossible to find! But yes hit up Chargerstore on eBay @Appie11, you won’t regret it.

And yes the frustration of photos on Apple’s site is why this thread exists!
 
So out of the New releases on the apple store which colours are the most popular this time around?
 
Thanks!! I thought among all the bandaholics here you might have one, and sure nuff!
Now I cannot account for why in the world the band on the left is called Desert Sand. I will say I’m fairly confident the purple matches up to Nike’s Voltage Purple, which is perhaps why Apple didn’t give it a name.
 
Does anybody have obsidian mist and blue black mango to show me in Nike bands?

I think it’s between these I want next . Even though Vapour Green also looks nice
