You will notice the Five-SeveN Berries and Cherries immediately when you inspect it in CS2. Its sharp split between red and blue sets it apart from other Five-SeveN finishes and gives it a look that feels distinct within the weapon’s lineup.
Most patterns display a visible dividing line where the two colors meet somewhere across the body of the pistol. Some patterns shift that balance heavily toward one side, creating versions with almost full red or almost full blue coverage, which attract the most attention from collectors and traders.
Five-SeveN Berries and Cherries Max Blue Patterns (Berry Fade)
You get a Max Blue pattern when blue covers roughly 85–90% of the weapon’s surface. Players often call these Berry Fades or Blue Gems. The red portion shrinks to a thin section near the muzzle, and you can hide even more of it with well-placed blue stickers.
These patterns stand out because the blue dominates almost the entire slide and frame. Collectors usually focus on specific seeds when searching for this look.

Five-SeveN Berries and Cherries Max Red Patterns (Cherry Fade)
Max Red, often called Cherry Fade, patterns push the red finish across roughly 80–85% of the pistol’s surface. The remaining blue sits toward the rear of the model, where it still stands out in CS2 viewmodels.

- 60

These seeds shift the color split far forward, leaving only a small section of blue near the back.
Which Max Red Seed Delivers the Strongest Look?
The “best” pattern depends on what you value: color dominance, balance, or rarity.
If you want the most red coverage possible, Pattern 182 stands out among Max Red options. It reaches about 85% red coverage, which places the blue almost entirely toward the rear.
If you prefer the opposite effect, Pattern 80 represents the strongest blue-focused version, with close to 90% blue coverage. Your choice comes down to whether you want a red-forward or blue-forward appearance.
Which Cherry Fade Seeds Are the Hardest to Find?
Max Red and Max Blue patterns are the rarest variations for this skin.
Out of 1,000 total possible pattern seeds, only:
- 15 qualify as Max Red
- 17 qualify as Max Blue
That means fewer than 4% of all possible seeds fall into either extreme category. Most patterns place the red-blue transition near the center of the slide, making heavy red or heavy blue versions uncommon.
Because of that limited pool, collectors often treat Cherry Fade seeds as premium variants.
What Do Top Max Red Patterns Cost?
You should expect to pay a premium for recognized Max Red seeds.
As a general comparison:
| Variant | Approximate Factory New Price |
|---|---|
| Standard pattern | ~$120 |
| Pattern 182 (Max Red) | ~$250 |
The price for a top Max Red seed can exceed double the cost of a standard pattern in the same wear. Max Blue seeds with similar coverage often reach comparable prices.
Actual pricing depends on float value, market demand, and listing availability.
