You're welcome. That's my point. I wanted to buy a First in Bleute but I already have a Blue Lavande Velo. So I think the two colors are very close and I'd better chose another one. Then I thought of Rose Thulian but this is very close to Coquelicot that I also have. Great confusion and indecisiveness!!!

ummm so i just heard some big news. ROSE GOLD IS DISCONTINUED!!!! in giant 12!!!

That is correct .. no more Rose Gold; just the mini Giant HW in Silver or Gold (and of course, the 'regular' HW).

I recently saw the showroom pics and I have to say that nothing really caught my eye; agree with many of you .. been there, done that! Mind you, the showroom pics are never great to begin with (after all - we're talkin' Balenciaga here ), but here's my assessment:

• Gris Tarmac - same as the current season
  
• Blue Mineral - looked a little like '09 Officier (blue/purple) but with more (royal) blue undertones
• Bleu Acier - very similar to Gris Ciment except with a little more light sky blue undertones (I'm not a fan)
  
• Tangerine - looked exactly like the Mandarine from a few seasons back
  
• Curry - looked very much like Moutarde from a few seasons back
  
• Rose Bonbon - looked very much like Frambois/Pivoine from a few seasons back
  
• Mauve - a little confused about this name; IMO - Mauve is usually more of a red/purple combo. Anyhow, looked like a 'true'/clean purple to me .. not as saturated as the '07 Violet or Dark Violet .. maybe a tad darker than the Bleu Lavande.
  

Bottom line .. can't say any of them interest me at all.

CeeJay, thank you! Could you please compare Curry to Mangue? Which one has more orange to it?

Mmmm maybe I should wait for Rose Bonbon instead of buying any pink bag now. It sounds promising.

Unfortunately, based on the pictures .. I really can't do a comparison of the two. Mangue has definitely orange undertones (similar to the '07 Jaune), whereas .. the Curry looked like more like Moutarde.

I wish Balenciaga could repeat Anis; that was one of my favorites!
