Tomato: misleading name?

[aerynna]

When I first heard Tomato was coming out, I was totally uninterested as I pictured a warm or orangey red. But now that I'm seeing pictures, it really looks more like a blue-toned cherry red.

Which is it? I have a Vermillion that I'm probably going to sell because it's too bright/bordering on warm-toned, even though my Vermillion is the true red, not the orangey red. Is Tomato a deeper, bluer red? If so, I could see selling my Vermillion in order to get a Tomato. But I don't want to do that if I'm going to get a bag with any orange tones at all.

I've seen a bunch of pictures, but for anyone who has seen Tomato in real life- is this more of a cool blue-toned red, or a warm orange-toned red? TIA!

From all the pics I have seen, it looks just like a fresh candied apple - yummy!!!

I was at Barneys a week ago and they had a tomato city with sgh. I would have loved it if I thought I could carry it off with my wardrobe. It was not orange at all!!!! More of a blue red. It's bright without being too in your face red. I would call it the perfect red. Good luck with your decision!!!

I'm considering the same thing with my Vermillon City.. Tomato's leather and hue is more my flavor

I would also call it a perfect red, deffo blue, not orange. It is funny, b/c I had a few slices of tomato recently, grown by my FIL, and it was exactly like the Bal tomato when cut!

I have a Tomato City, and I can assure you that it's in no way warm red.
If anything, it's slightly pinkish.... Like allysaid, it's the color of candy apple. It's a gorgeous red, definitely deeper than Vermillion.

Here's my Tomato I loove her!!

*dies a little* OK, that is nowhere near the color of a tomato. It is GORGEOUS! I think I have to find a way to trade my Vermillion for one of these!

it's close to the rouge theater, isn't it?

I think the Tomato colour & name is perfect. It's the most lustful red to come out since Rouge Theatre. I don't own any red's and they don't suit what I wear usually, but I think Tomato is fabulous!

I know!!!!!!!!!!!! I think Tomato is a misleading name for this gorgy red as well, but the names that BalNY has given have always been misleading in some ways

No, not at all. RT is a darker red, and Tomato is a bright red.

Tomato is close to Rouge Vif and 04 True Red. In fact, from the comparison pics a tPFer posted(sorry, don't remember who!!), those three colors are indistinguishable!

I couldn't agree more! Tomato looks nothing like the color of a tomato!

Here it with a strawberry and a cherry:

and with a deep red rose, a Yellow and a Red Heirloom tomato:

My Tomato is def a blue red......the SA described it as fire engine red....and she was dead on!!!!

Here's mine, it's not the best picture, as IRL the bag is a brighter red, but it's def a blue red, theres no orangy color to it at all.
