@jenaywins @PopTart I actually agree... not sure I could rock something as bright as malachite, but I love greens and reds as neutrals. I wear a mostly black-based palate and when I tend toward colors, I go towards red/green/purple. Rarely browns, white/cream or blues. I always thought that brown or blue-toned handbags would really read as a pop on me (since they'd contrast so much) but this thread has me reconsidering!
Favorite Unusual H Neutrals?

Jaune Ambre is probably my favorite unusual neutralMy sister has a bag in Jaune Ambre that she wears with a palette of camels, browns, and creams, and it is divine. I also think Anemone (with neutrals) and Bleu Electrique (with black, blues, and/or grays) are gorgeous.
On the quieter side of the color spectrum, Rouge H is lovely with typically "professional" colors: black, navy, grays, brown.
Me too with moutarde.
Matches dark red/rust, pinks, cream, brown, pretty much all blues, some gray... I've had a bunch of fun with mine. I strongly considered rouge H, but unfortunately could not match it with nearly as much of my clothing.Rouge H is a beautiful neutral if it works in your wardrobe. I really like it against grays and navy-toned blues--and, of course, reds/rusts.Me too with moutarde.
To my eye, yellow functions as a punchier substitute for Barenia, Gold, etc. It has the same impact as the more pure shades of gold (18K, 22K). I bet you look fabulous in all your golden resplendence

Love both your contributions here. Jaune Ambre is stunning but I don't think I could pull off anything in the yellow family based on what I wear... at least for a daily driver bag! But I will now add some yellow SLGs thanks to you both!Rouge H is a beautiful neutral if it works in your wardrobe. I really like it against grays and navy-toned blues--and, of course, reds/rusts.

Orange. It's a very happy colour for summer outfit and a pop of colour when wearing all black in the winter. I see orange as happy neutral.
What?! Orange is being discontinued?Agreed. Shame that the classic H colour is being discontinued.
I so agree, love raisin and had forgotten about it. Good color to add back to my list.
According to an SA I spoke to last week, Orange 93 is slowly being phased out and getting more and more rare.
How come nobody mentioned sesame color? 
Anyways, my first quota bag was a jaune ambre B30phw. It was so pretty but sadly it didnt work with my wardrobe. Bought it premium brand new from a reseller.
Finally on an ordinary day, my SA left me a voicemail if i wanted to see a sesame colored bag thats available. I took it and am very happy. It is my favorite casual neutral bag and works with all colors: summer or winter. Better than gold that everyone is crazy about. Gold can get quite boring though.

Alezan - came as a surprise.
I wear a lot of camel shades, with which often neither gold nor étoupe harmonise for my taste.
Here, my Alezan K fits perfectly as a neutral bag (if I don't want the contrast of black or blue nuit). It is also less susceptible to darkening of the handle.
