how do apricot (spring line) and mandarin orange (fall line) compare?

how about lawn vs avocado?

Hmm... not sure about that. I did ask about the Brusciato vs. Truffle browns, and Alexandra informed me that they are "about the same."

Looking forward to my Truffle Minilisa!!!!!!

The apricot is a truer orange while the mandarin is more brown tinged. I personally like the apricot a lot better and it's so pretty. The green though I'm not too sure about. Comparing it in pictures, the fall green also looks more brown tinged like an actual avocado almost while lawn actually looks like a green lawn to me.

Edit: Here are TE's words exactly that I found about apricot.

"^^its sort of a rusty, burnt orange. Its more brown than the current apricot color."

I saw two different orange colors while I was looking at Tanos last weekend. I honestly thought one of them was the Papaya colour, but maybe the styles in that color are too long gone for it to have been that. But one of them was a lighter orange with almost no deeper tones - very clean and bright. The other was a little dirtier, but in a good way - more of a spicey color and probably more versatile than the lighter one. Sadly, I don't know which was which, so I am not much help!

thanks...I think I like the apricot better than the mandarin....I can;t tell about the greens though..would love a side by side shot

My Lawn Green Boogie bucket is more of a grass green color.
The avocado green is more of the second layer color of an
avocado when you cut into one. It is more of an olive green if you
know what I mean. I actually love the Avocado green and might just
buy a bag in this color for the Fall.

the mandarin color wont be as brownish as it looks on the "black is the new" bag. I was told that Tano is tweaking it. It will be more "orange" in production.

I for one, would love to see all those vats of color and how everything gets mixed up and tweaked every season! That would be great!
