Most "versatile" crunch color? Truffle, avocado, or mandarin?

fafnir · Aug 1st, 2008, 04:09 PM

I wear a lot of black and neutrals. Trying to think of what (besides pomegranate, which is beautiful) would be a good color-- the kind of color that goes with many things. Is the mandarin too similar to pomegranate? And every picture I've seen of avocado looks completely different! The truffle just looks like such a rich, deep chocolatey brown shade...

I'd go with truffle. If you wear a lot of black, mandarin might look a bit Halloweenish IMO, which reminds me of a friend who one time wore those colors together lol

I agree. I think Truffle would be the most neutral for you.

I would third the truffle! It looks like such a rich chocolatey brown. I wear a lot of black too and I'm considering a truffle bag too (just haven't decided which one yet!).

I have to agree about the Halloween vibe, lol! So the avocado is not one of those more neutral greens? Never had a green bag, and I do love green...but if I won't use it a LOT I can't afford to get it.

I have the boogie in avocado. I love this color, it's really great with most of the neutrals I wear. I also have a truffle minilisa on preorder

I'm gonna have to put a vote in for truffle. You can wear dark brown with just about anything, including blacks, dark greys and navys.

Go for the truffle.

kings_20 · Aug 1st, 2008, 08:47 PM

For something a bit different, I'd go for grape. It will add a bit of pop while being a bit mysterious as well.

fafnir · Aug 2nd, 2008, 12:42 AM

Hm. The more I think about the avocado, the more I think I'll wait for Tano to come out with a really gorgeous bottle green-- sort of like a Perrier bottle color! That would be my ideal green bag color :)

TygerKitty · Aug 2nd, 2008, 12:47 AM

I'm voting for pomegranate or avacado! If it were me, and I wear a lot of black, truffle wouldn't go with my wardrobe except the "neutrals" or whatever. I prefer a pop of color to go with blacks and neutrals!

The Congo Green from fall 2007 was similar to a bottle green, in my opinion. Perhaps a bit darker.

Before my Apricot bag arrived I was worried about the Hallowe'en effect, but it looks nice with black.

Congo was a Fall 2007 color, but tano is making a few dozen boogie buckets this Fall in congo green since they had some left over leather in that color. Maybe you can find one!

LizCordova · Aug 2nd, 2008, 10:29 AM

That is great news! I love the Congo Green color more than the avocado.
