^^Bal's business practices are sometimes very illogical to me as well. They seem to discontinue items that are popular (GGH anyone?) and let's face it, oftentimes the swatches are NOT very accurate. That being said, I use my oft-repeated mantra with them "why ask why?" ('cos you can't explain the illogical).

Ok, so I need to clarify something.
When I posted the F/W 2011 color descriptions, I was just relaying what Jojo had described to me from what she had seen. She is a Balenciaga collector, has a good grip on their colors, and she was excited to pass this information on to all of you.
I do NOT have swatches. Neither does she.
I was just trying to relay information from her to share with all of you, and to give you all an IDEA of what to expect for the colors of the F/W 2011 season. That's all. Just sharing info, and creating dialog.
So, I wont answer questions about colors anymore-you have the descriptions, imagine away! I think that my answering questions about the colors after I posted my initial "description post" has people thinking I have swatches/Jojo has swatches/whatever.
I will be waiting along with everyone to see the actual bags IRL or to see the actual swatches.
Thanks for listening

Also want to add, since I cannot edit my above post anymore, that I thought I was helping by answering questions, but it seems like now I was not. 
So I wont post on this thread anymore, and will just wait patiently along with all of you for swatches/ pictures/etc...

Awww
Your info was/is helpful and I for one very much appreciate you passing along the descriptions and find the information very valuable. Thank you so much for doing so. 
^^^^ I second that!
Balenciaga can & will do whatever they feel is better for Balenciaga!
So if someone like Susan & Jojo are kind enough to share what they have seen or their interpretation/description of for example the FW colours, I like saira1214 am very very grateful!
We are obviously all (once again) getting frustrated trying to decide what bags to buy now while trying to predict which bag 'we simply must have' in the future. This is made more frustrating as Balenciaga only release most colours once, so we don't want to miss out.
This is just MHO & as I love in Australia (no Bal boutiques & I have no local Bal stockist) I am so so so very grateful & thankful that all you kind ladies share any intel!
So as frustrating as this thread can be I LOVE it & tPF!
Sounds corny but true!

Susan you were very helpful with your descriptions for the f/w colors. I'm sorry you got bombarded with questions & swatches.
Awww... I'm a bit bummed that Susan won't post any future info. about the f/w colors. Anyhow, thanks Susan and Jojo for updates about the color swatches!
Thanks for the heads up!
Is there a color similar to outremer or a mix of outremer and a deep purple for fw colors?

Some people are surmising that is what Blue Lavande will be. That is what I'm hoping for
