Yes, from the boutique. The s/a who took the photo said the color is actually lighter IRL.[/QUOTE
Saw Atlantique today - it looks like a neither-here-nor-there denim. Ocean Blue has more depth to it, and the Atlantique just doesn't hit the right note for me.

I did see the new Green Vert Sauge in real life in the Twiggy, and it is super cute!

Vert Sauge is the absolute epitome of Copper Green - that colour which copper domes oxidises on buildings, or the copper coins that are left too long, and they get this unique green of oxidation on them.

From photos I've seen of Papeete, Vert Sauge seems to resemble this colour most - or a deep Sea Foam (only seen Sea Foam in photos). Vert Sauge looks gorgeous with blue denim, white Ts; and stripey Ts with red, burgundy or magenta jeans, dark brown, yellow Ts and camel leather skirts and tan boots and brown jesus sandals. Really, Vert Suage is such a perfect colour for Spring in Oz, I don't understand why it's been released as a Fall colour in the Northern Hemisphere... not that I'm grumbling:graucho:!
 
Here is my atlantique! LOVE the color! the pic is pretty accurate.

I get the impression that the Atlantique is another one of those colors that's hard to capture and really depends on the lighting. Here is the photo I got from Bal SCP for the City RGGH, and the following are photos of mine in various lighting. Could be lighter or darker depending on the light. Hope this helps someone who's on the fence about the Atlantique.:smile1:
