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.

If Rose Bon Bon is a repeat of Framboise, I'll definitely get one with mini SHW. It's my favorite pink!!!

Thanks so much, CeeJay. I always look forward to your colour reviews. Well, it looks like I'm safe from purchasing anything from this batch of colours: nothing attracts me... so relieved

Thanks, CeeJay! Still liking the sound of Tangerine and may also like Rose Bon Bon. I missed the past colors, and I would really love a good orange. I also really like Frambois.

Thanks for you info Ceejay! The only one that sounds like it might peak my intrest is blue mineral.

oh no... why... I prefer it much more than gold..

I haven't seen Outremer or Bleute IRL but I was told that they both have a slight purple undertone.

What do you think is more fun between Jacynthe and this new Blue Acier? I'm thinking an RH city, but will only get one since I feel like I already have too many "blue". :) Should I just settle for Jacynthe now or hold out for Blue Acier? I already have Ciel, Officier, 08 Marine, and Tempete for my blue family.

IMO, the Bleu Acier would be too close to your Ciel. Jacynthe is a gorgeous blue with subtle purple undertones; reminded me a lot of the old Bleu Glacier/Periwinkle which was a super color!!

Would Glycine and Jacynthe be too close in colour?

Not at all, but I think Glycine and Crocus might be.

Thanks for posting.

Love Tangerine.

Not impressed with those, really. I've always wanted a lovely rich brown colour to come out, like the Mulberry Oak or a lovely chocolate shade. I haven't seen a Bal shade like that since Castagna in 2010, I think. Oh well, will have to rely on Mulberry to give me beautiful browns instead.

I just picked up the Balenciaga city in bluete this weekend (my first bal!). It's a gorgeous BRIGHT blue with slightly purple undertones... Much more blue than bleu lavande
