Hi SP!

I actually put Cyclamen in Pinks for some reason, come to think of it, it would have prolly been better in Purples, but now it sits in the Pinks!!

Thanks!

^ I've only seen it in Chevre mysore and it is a gorgeous, rich color w/o being too bright. I'd choose Chevre mysore for any bag in turquoise.

I am confused with the color Gris Touterelle and Etoupe. What exactly is the difference. (I saw a few pictures on various sites and they sometimes look like one another). How are they compared as of undertone..which one looks best on what leather? Thanks

These 2 colors really have to be seen IRL to see the difference. I've never seen a good photograph of either unless taken in natural sunlight. Etoupe is browner.

You can also add chocolate brown to barenia. I have this in a belt.

Also, my new prune in chevre mysore.

gf -- you might be able to pinch a sample of bleu roi chevre from here if you want to add it to your chart:

Look What I'm getting! (huge silly grin)

great project -- thanks for doing it!
