pics of plomb color next to a black work

[StarBrite310]

Yeah, but faded black is just what some of us are looking for. Dark blacks are great - but as I get older, I find them a bit harsh as an accessory for daytime. We were just watching a nicely produced HBO drama last night, and the interior decor had a couple of layers of black - very dark to faded, combined with some reds and oranges - very sophisticated.

And, I have a picture of one tPFer and her all-black outfit (different tones of black though) wearing her white very slouchy work bag and it's TDF, the way the white sets off those shades of black.

The plomb reminds me of my darling anthracite, but without the blue. And while I love anthracite, it is necessary sometimes to wear something other than a blue bag!

Thanks for posting the pictures, Toni, you're making me rethink my fall buying strategies - plomb is a very interesting choice.

And the Plomb does have a tad blue tint to it as well. But from what I have seen from photos, Anthracite has more turquoise blue to it. The Plomb is more dark gray/faded black/navy blue. So so nice!!!

Wow. NOw I get it. Black is black. Plomb is kind of similar to my anthracite. It's a good substitute for black if one doesn't want sheer black. Thank you!

Love your pics toni! Both bags look divine! What year is your black work from? Gosh, the leather on both is so different! I like how each bag has it's own personality! What lovely colors!!!

Ok, let's enlarge the pics! Plomb looks pretty close to black or would i say a lighter shade of black maybe

isn't plomb more like a dark grey? is it really that close to black?

 

[samboni24]

does anyone know the difference between the plomb and the charcoal? any one happen to have comparison pics?

I think the third picture captures the true color of Plomb best. Plomb is not really a faded Black, it's a lighter version of Anthracite 2008.
