I've always loved the oxblood but I saw the grey in the Coach window at the mall this past weekend. It literally stopped me in my tracks. That bag is gorgeous! I'm always a color girl but there is something about that neutral gray that is just stunning in person. I have to say it's the prettiest bag I've ever seen IRL.
Don't own a borough myself but I've read on here that those that do say the pebble borough gives while the tanned leather is more stiff and higher maintenance. Enjoy whatever you pick.

I think I am going to keep it. I tried it on real quick this morning with my work clothes and it looked pretty good.
Tough choice! I have large pebbled black and medium alpine moss. I love the oxblood color and I've never seen the grey IRL, but I love grey and it looks fabulous! This would be just my personal opinion obviously....but I would say the grey! I hope you get something you love!!
I have the two: medium pebbled oxblood and black. I do love the pebbled texture best, but I do think the grey is very beautiful . And a super neutral color.
I myself just prefer the gold hardware on these bags. When I thought I was only going to get the one at first, I picked the black to go with everything .

I have the pebbled alpine moss and the pebbled black but I wished that the pebbled oxblood had come out in the large borough. I do have the oxblood in the clutchable and it is beautiful.
It's such a personal preference, really.
I don't love gray and for some reason I'm not a fan of the glove tanned leather in this bag. For a solid color, I prefer pebbled. Tough choice: black or oxblood. I love them both. I think you should choose oxblood. I think that color isn't going to be available soon but black will.

I'm obsessed with the Warm Grey and I will own it someday. The SA's mentioned that the pebbled Boroughs soften and slouch more over time than the glove leather, which seems to retain its structure better. So a matter of personal preference I guess.
I have the Oxblood, Alpine Moss and Black in the pebbled and the camel in the glove tanned leather.
I agree with the other posters that pebbled gets a little slouchier with time. It will show less wear than the smoother leather. Black and Oxblood have the light gold hardware as opposed to the Gray.
I personally don't care for gray bags for myself but they are a versatile neutral.
If you have other black bags already I would recommend the Oxblood. It is really beautiful with the black handles and gold hardware. It also is not a color represented in your patchwork bag.
My favorite by far is the Alpine Moss with the silver hardware.It looks great with almost everything that black does and looks a little more casual than the black or Oxblood. It wasn't on your list though!
Good luck with your decision. I don't think you can go wrong though!
