Talking Nut? Walnut? Noix! With comparison pictures!
Noix looks very brown in the various pictures that we've seen all over this site. But it is actually not THAT brown. IRL it is actually a very special color... I don't know how to describe!

Pictures taken beside window.



With Galet,

oh darn. it looks grey on its own and pebble looks so washed out next to noix. i personally think noix would be nice with GSH as i like warm colours with GSH and cool colours with GGH.

thanks for these pictures!

Wow! Thanks for posting these pics! I think Noix is the colour that I never knew I wanted! You're right that it's special colour. I think I may need one of these deliciousness.

Thank you so much for the pix!

Does Noix change its color upon lighting as well? I mean IRL, does it looks like milky ovaltine? That's what I get from your pix. Please tell me if I'm wrong. I really want to figure out the color.

Thx! :)

vink, I thought the same thing - it looks like milky Ovaltine!

Sweetlust - thank you so much for all the pics! They're so helpful and I had so much fun looking at all your bags. Great beauties you've got there!
