Yes there are different codes for both Nero and Ebano (and others that I can't remember off the top of my head).Hello all! I know this is not the proper format, bc once I asked the seller for a photo of the underside of the authenticity tag and I questioned that it was nero, the seller pulled the listing off eBay.
But just for my own education: this listing was for a Maxi Nero Veneta. The color code says '8175'. I thought nero was always '1000' (?). Are there different color codes for nero? Thanks in advance!

The 1000 and 8175 colour designations for Nero, much like the 2040 and the 2072 (?? I think? Sorry I'm sitting in a Starbucks so I have to go from memory) variations for Ebano are based on the leather. If you notice, the photo you provided shows the Nappa used is given the designation of V0016, as opposed to the V0013. V0013 Nappa leather corresponds to the colour Nero being 1000, while V0016 Nappa leather corresponds to the 8175. Likewise, you will see the majority of Campanas using V0016 Nappa, therefore having a colour code of 8175.
The same goes for Ebano. The V0013 Nappa generally corresponds with the colour 2040, while V0016 Nappa has a colour code of 2072. Cervo leather (V174R) also uses the 2072 Ebano designation.
Why the difference between using V0013 and V0016 leathers on the same style but different sizes? No clue. Maybe there is a subtle variation between the two leathers.
This isn't hammered in stone but it is definitely a pattern with Bottga Veneta and the leathers. Different skins are sometimes (not always but often) given a different colour code for the same shade. If I remember correctly, the original Ball Bag also had the 8175 Nero colour designation.
My god, you're really quite brilliant. Thanks for sharing this, I've added it to my Secret BVette Stash.
Those people at Starbucks better be treating you well!
The color code always changed according to hardware and skin.
Ebano Croc would have a different color code than Ebano lambskin. Men's color codes are also different because they usually use different skins for mens bags

Thanks! She never got back to me. That is interesting . I went on Google to see that collection and it was gorgeous!This style of bag was done for Fall/Winter 2004 ~ ish.
When the seller provides you with the other details, we can confirm the rest.
(I am just chiming in now, in case I forget to check back later)
Could boxer mom or another authenticator look at this hobo for me? Apologize for the pictures. The white tag is in the second picture. Thank you.
We really need the information asked for in the first post of this thread - the photos you've provided are not enough for an authentication.
The reason I asked for Boxer mom is she has authenticated for me in the past. I realize some authenticator refuse to help when the person posting the item is the seller as is the case for me. I will ask Carol to authenticate this and pay her fees. Thank you for your time. Please ignore my initial request.
I didn't know you were the person selling. All I know is we didn't have enough photos to help. If you can provide the photos...? If Carol will authenticate with only these two photos, I'm not sure I'd trust the service.
Boxermom no longer authenticates. Her eyesight is not good enough anymore she says. I am pretty sure we don't authenticate for sellers that they are supposed to use a service
Thank you. What a shame. Boxer was a wonderful asset to the community. Some authenticators will authenticate for other sellers and some will not. I am pretty sure it is real so I don't mind paying Carol's nominal fee. Thank you again for your helpful information about Boxer.
