Sorry if this has been discussed before but I did a search and didn't find anything.
I recently revealed a legacy archival briefcase in chalk with marine trim. The marine color is a deep violet purple with blue in it - but it's not blue - it is purple IMO.
I love the color but the name is very confusing. The term "marine" suggests the deep blue sea to me, not purple. And last year I was very tempted to buy the bleecker weekend tote in marine and it was a gorgeous deep blue.
Is it just my eyes or has coach used the same name for 2 very different colors on bags that were both released within a short period of time? Shouldn't their marketing department catch descrepancies like that?
They should recruit someone that works at OPI's marketing department to come up with descriptive, catchy names for colors! But I think that they just let some colorblind guy pick the names! Or maybe the marketing team for the men's line doesn't talk to the team for the women's line?!
Attached are 2 pics that I borrowed from ebay (NMAs) showing the bleecker marine weekend tote and the legacy archival marine duffle. Both gorgeous colors but unless the "rods and cones" in my eyes are all screwed up - they are very different colors! So what's the deal with coach color names?!
