Default Chloé synonyms : dove=mousse, tobacco=brun... what else ?

I think it would be great if you could explain to new chloe's addicts wich colors are in fact the sames : for exemple, i was wondering if whiskey and cognac where the same color, and whiskey and ecureuil too ?
Thanks girls

off the top of my head

Eucreil = Whiskey
Sable = sable
Sand = Creme
Juane = yellow/sunflower
muscade = nutmeg
blue nuit = midnight blue
blanc = ivory
craie = chalk
tan = tan
gris vert = gray/green
taupe = taupe
kaki = olive green
argent = metallic silver 06
aubergine = bronze
anthracite = dark metallic silver 06
jean moyen = blue jean
grenat = blue red
rouge = bright red

I don't know if this is what you were looking for ??

i might be wrong about some of them though.

^^^^ YES indeed!

It's easy to get confused. People's perception of color is sooo different so the tag makes it official for the most part.

Nice summary D&G!!!

I think the following is also true:

Mousse = Gris Vert = Dove -> all grey/grey with maroon or green trim
Brun = tobacco -> dark brown
Grenat = bordeaux -> dark, pomegranate red

Gaufrettebis I think hmwe once told she compared IRL mousse and gris vert and the only difference was in colour of the edging (which in gris wert is dark purple/maroon and in mousse it's darker mousse colour) but basicly the colour of the body on these bags was same

^Yeah they are all one and the same.

Because gris/vert means 'grey green' - i have a mousse paddy, otherwise known as Dove, and that has a green tinge to it - and as Sonja says, mousse/dove has a different colour edging than the gris/vert.

lol - i just confused myself...

Too funny!!

So I had a mousse bag with a mousse tag and it was identical in body color to a bag at Bloomies with a tag of gris vert. The only difference was the edge work: on my bag it was green, on the gris vert it was maroon.

Hope this helps! LOL
