Hi everyone.. I haven't seen both colors IRL but from the pictures I've seen they look pretty similar. Can someone describe both colors?and which color would you choose? I am interested in GH work.

Marine is a dark navy blue. Anthracite is a dark charcoal grey (graphite) that can change undertones (from teal to midnight blue) depending on the lighting. I know it sounds odd but it's truly stunning in person.

Thanks for the clarification. I guess marine is very close to ink. I think I would go with anthracite but who knows.. I am still obessing over the french blue.:Push:

Today I received my Marine City (regular hardware) from ****** on ebay. The color is awesome and the leather is just too yummy for words. I am sooo happy with the 07 leather compared to the 06. The Marine color is a true navy blue and its the perfect blue bag I have been looking for forever. Thanks to ****** for selling this baby!

Now I need a cafe day....looks like my Bbag ban is over girls.

oh no.:nuts:

I had both of these colors (still kicking myself for returning the anthracite) so here are pics of each taken without flash in the same setting--one indoors and one in the sunlight. The colors are similar, but anthracite has more of a green cast. Marine is on the left.

I hope this helps a bit!

Marine is a very dark, deep blue with no other undertones. Anthra is a blue/green/charcoal mixture...definitely various undertones that change the bag in various lighting.

If you're looking for a blue bag, I'd say go for the marine. If you're looking for more of a chameleon - go for the anthra! :nuts:

I second this, the '07 leather is amazing. Anthracite is such a chameleon. Look at crackers pics. Her anthracite GH is amazing.

Of marine and anthracite, I prefer the anthracite. I have it in the city style. Valerie's pictures above illustrate the difference quite well. Anthracite is so hard to capture in pics, though, because it's so much more beautiful IRL. It will look gray at times, then slate blue at other times, then black, then teal, then midnight blue. It's awesome. I almost returned it, but am so glad I did not.
