i can only guess that the bag faded and they enhanced the pics, as it does not look like anything valid (as far as the chart stands) :confused1:

Yup, confusing. It has the distressed rose gold studs, the light gold zipper and the blank zipper head of a 2010 colour...if they enhanced the colour that much they should be sued :lol:.

yep, totally!
that's how i got caught with my Rose Thulian Day - pics were terribly deceiving, enhanced to make it look RED, and not pinkish pale red what it was in real life (the one i redied)

I'm guessing they manipulated a light olive. The zipper cloth colour is about the right tone against the leather.

Here is a photo of a 2010 light olive (from blog.spotted.fashion) that looks similar. So maybe it is possible for this color to photograph very "saturated" in some lights?

Whoa! That looks like a nice spring leafy green to me! That looks nothing like the YC one!
ETA: this has different hardware though.

As I mentioned Yoogi’s lighting is quite subdued compared to some. It’s always hard to say just how much various photos are enhanced...the colours on the charts aren’t always that great a representation of the colours on the bags IRL either! I always try to pull up as many photos as I can of whatever colour I’m looking for. Between google and the threads on TPF I can usually get a fair idea of what the colour will look like. Usually ;).

Well in that case I guess it's light Olive after all. As predicted, no chance of getting additional info. Just got this reply from the seller:
