I don't think it was dyed tbh - the edge paint is too off for FW 05 Navy, imo.

... and I don't think they can edit the photos that much that the edge paint be that off on their photos.

Could be Blueberry (don't think it's Blueberry tho - not enough purple undertones?), Marine, or Ocean/Mer...
if it were one of their cheapies, I might be tempted to get it and find out, but with no strap and unsure of the color and/or whether its been altered, not worth the risk
 
The edge paint on the mirror doesn't look right to me for FW 05 Navy...

Some ref pics from my FW 05 Navy First:

ETA: Like all of us who have trouble taking photos of our bag's colours, I feel like TRR has been struggling a lot lately and it's possible they're adjusting saturation/contrast too much, lol.
They should just take pics of the tag! Honestly, it’s a mystery as to why they don’t.

I'm with @protein_ and thinking it might be 07 Marine. Mirror has the slip pocket, so can't be any later than 08.
Here's a listing of a Marine Day and colors look very similiar to me.
The interior photo of the City was most likely taken with flash and therefore tag looks brighter, I'd say.

I think the TRR bag looks an awful lot like my S/S 2005 Indigo. Zipper tape color matches, and even the difficulty I had in taking accurate photos of the color show the same differences. Leather looks similar as well.

Now that you say it, I agree. it does look a lot like Indigo
What can be seen of the inner tag is what had me convinced it was Navy, but I think what others said about using a flash is probably making it look lighter

How pathetic that a company like TRR after all these years can't invest in better equipment or hire someone to take better photos, especially because they don't allow returns on handbags -- you'd think they'd make a better effort to provide more accurate information on final sale items
 
What in the world is this monstrosity and how is TRR rating this GOOD?
Yes, I know its a 2004 — but the front buckle is falling off, its not the original shoulder strap, the handles are completely stretched out AND its missing its front tassels & probably its mirror — none of which is mentioned in its description

Eight hundred dollars for that?!?
Never mind the fact the mirror is missing, along with all the other flaws they can't be bothered to list, but can they try any harder to obscure the missing studs and that poor buckle dangling forlornly?
