HELP!!! Is this Box Gris Pale or Gris Tourterelle?

[licencetocook]

Hello experts! I have just been told that my box kelly elan is gris pale rather than gris tourterelle. Can anyone tell me the difference between the two? Is my bag indeed gris pale? The pic of gris pale in the reference section has disappeared.

I think Katel has a box gris pale birkin. Katel paging Katel

LTC, I wish I could help you, but whatever color it is, it is incredibly stunning and I LOVE your Sulfures pochette--perfection. The color does look a tad lighter than gris tourterelle but I don't think I've seen GT in box yet.

I'm sorry I don't know the answer but I love both the bag and that gorgeous Sulfures scarf

I believe it's Gris Pale. I don't recall Gris T coming in Box Calf. The one person I know has Gris Pale in a Kelly is Grands Fonds. Your Kelly Elan is out of this world! I want!!!!!

Gris tortourelle is obviously grey. Gris pale, well, think of it as white with a hint of grey. I'm leaning towards gris pale because your bag is so light.

Whatever color it is, it's TDF!!!

OH, LtoC, what a GORGEOUS addition to your already STUNNING collection - many congratulations!!

It looks just like my gris pale Birkin; here are outside and inside shots: (p.s. I have this same sulfures pochette! I kept it to tie on my gris pale Birkin - twins! )

Beautiful kelly elan, LTC!

I would agree with the gris pale. tourterelle is a bit darker, and clearly grey.

Oh that Kelly Elan is just so beautiful.
I would guess gris pale too. Croissant has a gris pale Kelly but the leather is Clemence. I remember it looked quite pale in the picture.

LTC, I love that bag!!!

Oh ltc a gorgeous scarf and Kelly.
I must get that scarf!
Beautiful!

Thank you so much, ladies! You really are the best partners in crime. After a number of years collecting H, I am still not very good at colours. Does anyone know if gris pale is a current colour? I don’t think I have seen this colour at the boutiques.

Orchids – I have always enjoyed your avatar, but I didn’t know what hue of H until I saw Coleigh’s thread. Your birkin is gorgy.

Loonie – Is that your valentine’s day evening outfit in your signature? I bet you would get lots of orange boxes as presents to compliment your outfit.

MrsS – I didn’t know I like gris until I saw this élan, but now I am in love.

HG – Thanks so much for the explanation. What would I do without you?

Katel – I am so honoured to be your twin. I have always love your classic style. Your box collection is out of this world. Just look at that gris pale birkin. She’s beyond elegant.

ABA – We just had a day of snow followed by another day of rain. I bet the weather is much better where you are. I really need a sunny day to debut this bag.

Avandome – Tourterelle is a great colour, but I am now in love with the paler version. I think it is a better colour for my yellow/olive skin tone.

Tamarind – I would love to see Croissant’s kelly. I bet it’s quite beautiful in clemence also.

Kelly_Birkin – I am really taken with the élan. I have tried the KP and KL, but the élan has the perfect dimension for someone my size. I was very close to placing a box KL order at Feb PO, but I am glad I didn’t.

Elizabethk – I bought the Sulfures last year. When my Kelly élan arrives, they just seem to belong together.

^ Yes, I did. I missed out on a black croc elan last year, so my reseller already knows I am looking for Kelly elans. The colour was a surprise, but I really do like gris pale.
