I know this may be a big ask, but I love your concepts. You couldn't knock up a Kilim in bamboo and a blue?
Quick and dirty (excuse the crown rings)

I wonder if those colors are for new leather bands because Bleu Céleste is very dark. Almost the same color as the navy Kilim, so why bother?

Still doesn’t mean we couldn’t get a bamboo kilim since that color is already out.

Apple doesn’t seem likely to acknowledge leather colors in the software but also they didn’t acknowledge their own textile colors in the fall firmware did they now lol

Blue Celeste in Hermes leather is a much brighter robin’s egg blue.

This is totally what I thought at first but it’s just not true. You can find a Birkin that looks like that blue but what you’re seeing there is Bleu Lin perhaps? The lining is Celeste?

I agree with above that Celeste is kind of a disappointingly familar dark blue but OP has it right. Would be nice if we were wrong, but I think Celeste is a dark night sky color going by the current catalog.

I‘m a long term Hermes shopper and own a Celeste Birkin directly from the store. It’s robin‘s egg blue. Hermes tends to reuse color names for colors that are completely different in shoes for some reason. Clearly as seen above the Celeste that Hermes has used for leather Apple products previously is the brighter version. Time will tell but my moneys on the bright spring blue as shown in my post.

I hope you’re right. Apple Watch bands in general sorely lack bright saturated blues since the early days.

Help us understand one thing, are “Celeste” and “Bleu Celeste” the same colorway? The ios code seems to include the two-word version of this concept. In my head one is “Celestial Blue” and the other is “Heaven” lol.

Hermes tends to be annoyingly imprecise with naming conventions, especially on their website. The official name for the robins egg blue version is “Bleu Celeste” with color code 7N.
