How would you describe noce?
What does the color remind you of?
What are the undertones? yellow? pink? blue?

Noce is a rich honey brown...not too dark and not too light. BlueFly often calls it walnut. NM calls it tan. In my opinion it goes with everything.....it's a great everyday handbag color and works for all seasons. If you look at a jar of honey that has aged slightly, that's the color.

the color reminds me of the color of dark coffee w/some milk stirred into it. a caramel color and very nice for autumn, though it really is a color that can be worn throughout the year.

Yummy descriptions!

bags'rus · Dec 11th, 2007, 04:35 PM

When I think of aged honey, I see an orange tint. Yet coffee with milk is more taupey.
Isn't it interesting how differently we interpret color. I am really sensitive to color and the noce is complex.

I find carmine to also be very complex; red in general is hard to describe accurately. The carmine is simply gorgeous, and I am not a huge red fan.

A few months ago I was having trouble visualizing the difference between ebano and moro. One of the experienced tPFers described it this way: moro is dark chocolate and ebano is milk chocolate. That worked for me.

The depth and complexity of BV colors is one of the many reasons I simply love this brand!

hi bags'rus, i would describe noce as a rich caramel. somehow the pictures always seem lighter than the actual shade irl.
