Default SADDLE? what are the undertones?

I'm pretty interested in Saddle, but I'm curious what the undertones are/ Are they orange like sienna was? Or more nuetral? Can you post pics please.

I did see this colour last monday.
I was wearing my day in sienna, en i did see the day in saddle.
It was lighter en a little bit less orange. But just a little less orange.
It did look like a faded sienna, but a lovely colour.
Good luck and hugs FX

I got myself a Saddle Work, I chose the smoother leather which IMO is darker than the marbled ones, maybe a shade darker. I took comparison shots with my Sienna Day & they look almost alike.

THanks Ladies, especically pinkboudoir. I love the look of the color, whisky, but can't make it work. Just like my Chloe paddy in whiskey. I seem to want to keep buying this color but never like it on me:(

I just saw a Saddle Day with GGH today and it was really beautiful! First time I've seen Saddle color.

sunspark, Thanks.

gonatcha, I brought my Saddle out today & it's always sunshine here. I got a better look at the colour in daylight. It is a lighter shade of brown with more obvious orange-y tones. Sienna on the other hand, is a richer darker brown shade & it takes more sunlight to coax to orangey tones out.

I just posted today pics on the forum under the thread called, Friday was a new Day. It is a Saddle Day bag. The color that shows up on my monitor is almost 100% correct to the actual IRL bag. Hope this helps.
(I also put the pics in the reference section under brown bags.)

Relative to my Sienna, yes the zipper tape is lighter. I think it was meant to match the lighter Saddle bags?
