Default Truffle VS Cafe? Pictures Anyone? TIA!

I'm trying to figure out the differences between Truffle and Cafe. I bought a Truffle Bowling Bag from NM and I returned it because I thought the color was horrible. But now after seeing more pictures of Truffle I'm beginning to like it. Any pictures or insights would be appreciated.

TIA!

hmm... maybe you should do a search on it... I had the same dilemma as you and did a search and found a few pics... sorry i dont know how to insert links...

but I have the cafe and love it color... altho I still wonder at times whether I should have got the truffle instead... both colors are gorgeous though...

I think truffle is one of those colors that you GROW to love rather than love at first sight...

Cafe is a lot darker than Truffle....it's just like a dark choco bar without any undertones.

Sorry don't have pics, but I would explain it this way: truffle is a medium *muddy* brown, whereas cafe is a dark and rich brown.

My 06 Truffle....gorgeous color! But just sold it...as I have too many brown bags. The color looks very vintage, I think.

Awww. Thanks
I had my doubts before I got Cafe, but now I'm in LOVE! The leather rapidly broke in as well, and she's just so soft and smooshy now

Cafe is really dark... the color won't definitely be mistaken as black, but it's about 2,3 shades darker than Truffle.
