Hi Dear Chanel lovers ~ 
So first I’d like to say, Congratulation to the ladies who’ve gotten your beautiful 17B minis with your heart beats!!!
I am really so happy for you all and excited to see your excitement! 
I saw Fall Act 1 thread, Wow It’s on fire and so fast paced that i cannot catch up all the posts 
I’m always impressed by those ladies' passions for Chanel and supports each other like that 
I love Purse Forum for this reason
Fall Act 1 posts inspired me to check out 17B Red in person. I just received the mini on Thursday night since I've been busy and missed the package on Wednesday and finally took photos today.
Many ladies asked me some requests for comparison and review especially with 00V and 12A. I know there's many fans of these and passions on shades of Reds. Even though I felt little pressure since I'm just being busy ( or called lazy lol ) and not good with organizing threads in general, I decided to open an thread for ladies rather than replying to each PM. My photo is not perfect but tried my best - Hope these helps for ladies to enjoy viewing
First I'd like you to know this is just reference of comparison to help you to enjoy. Each shade is just personal preferences in the end as you know and It doesn't really matter where True Red or Not, so let's not use the word here for avoid confusion... Most important..how we love and enjoy wearing them 
Thanks for letting me share here my review and humble red collection with passion
Dear Chanel friends and lovelies ~ I hope all of you enjoy your beautiful Chanel whether Red or Black, other colors, most importantly with your heart beats. Life is short, lets enjoy what we have and our love of Chanel.....
17B is indeed beautiful Red. No wonder many ladies fall in love with this 17B Red. She is slightly darker in shade and soft rounded in shape also a cutie and definetely a keeper
Feels lucky to welcome her into my humble Red collection I often reach my Red Chanel myself and love wearing Red purse often, so actually not as "collection" I can see I will enjoy this wearable mini that will be easily match with any dairy outfits.
There is so many beautiful Reds exist at least in the past 10 years as I know. I only own these 4 Reds currently to compare.
However, since people asked my opinion and review, I try my best and here is honest view. Hope this helps -
While right next each other, 17B is clearly little darker red in them, which means easy to wear all year around especially in fall and winter. It's slightly darker than 00V in real life. Looking at 00V as center in all 5, 17B is dark red, 14C has clearly orange undertone, 16SS has tint of orange undertone, 12A is the one often called "lipstick" has tint of blue undertone.
All is natural day light in the noon, no flash. These photos are the closest to real life and the best i could.

OOV WOC front / 17B back
Both are beautiful red indeed However, I noticed the difference - 17B has slightly muted or soft matte dark red look like on its texture in real life. It's hard to describe. Just example, if you're familiar with description of color of artist oil painting materials; when you buy painting material, there's difference between transparent or matte. It remind me of somethings like that.
From real life of each and you could also see from the photos clearly that 12A has indeed richer color looks or could be described as transparent Red that's what 12A caviar has. I can see these effect comes from differences of textures of caviar leather. Photos can tells all more than my review
