Would "chalk" be a different color to match with from the "bone" color? I was going to try putty and flat white in the Angelus.

Yes chalk is a much brighter white, whereas bone is more of a cream colored white. I’m not familiar with the putty and flat white options from angelus. You can try asking in the coach rehab thread if anyone has any experience with “chalk.” If you find a color that works please come back to this thread and let us know! Best of luck.
Color find!
I bought a pebbled Sonoma in 'wheat' and was surprised to see all the pen marks on the bag. The seller mentioned it but the marks were more a bit more extensive.
Fortunately I found a perfect match in an Acrylic by Folk Art called 'fawn'
.This beauty had a dunkin and a thorough cleaning. Now, if I could find the matching hang tag. I've searched but that color seems to be elusive in hang tags.
Here is the before and after!

Beautiful job! That’s a great match you found! Thanks for sharing
Visit our rehab club for advice. It helps to know what era the purse is from and how much touching up is needed. Pictures help.

Thank you @LaVinCoach! This is an excellent thread idea. I need help with color matching. This is not my bag but mine looks exactly like it and similar condition. Coach Park Punch Crossbody. I am attempting to color just the parts where the finish has rubbed off the surface. The brown leather is showing underneath. I have tried to mix my own color but it’s just a little off still. Any suggestion? I will attach photos too. BTW I am really enjoying PF. I never hand designer purses when I was younger, too extravagant. Now that I can rehab bags I‘m having a great time and carrying a classy bag!
Hello Coach Rehabbers! This is a great thread @LaVinCoach. I would love any tips on color matching. I have almost matched the color on this Park Crossbody Satchel. Here’s another one that looked just like mine: Coach Park Punch Crossbody
I’ve mixed FOLK ART Farmhouse White, Metropolitan, Baby Blush, and a drop of black. It’s almost the right shade. It’s a little dark. I blended all of it with Chamberlins #1. It’s a bit flat also. To be honest, I rubbed it off pretty quickly because I didn’t like the way it looked. I‘m thinking of adding a bit more white and more conditioner to thin it out. Any suggestions? I’m a newbie at this but I love making old things new. The purse is thrifted so my risk is minimal.

folkart linen was going to be my suggestion.
You might want to use fabric puff paint in white to lighten your current mixture. It'll add some shine. When you have too high a concentration of regular acrylic paint it ends up being not shiny enough.
Is there another product I can use to match bt? Meltonian London tan seems to be sold out everywhere.Hi everyone!
It can definitely be a challenge to find the right shade to rehab a bag sometimes (looking at you periwinkle). Made even worse when your closest hobby store doesn't sell many different shades and you're left to rely on online color matching
So I thought it would be helpful to make a thread where we could post the products and color shades that we use on our worn bags as a little reference library.
Bone colored bag: Folkart acrylic matte paint in "Linen" (#420)

*I'm not sure if this shade of red has a different name than other shades of red, but it is a dark red. I have another coach bag that is a much brighter shade of red. I have included a picture of the two red shaded bags below for comparison.

I hope this thread can be helpful! Best of luck to everyone in their rehab adventures
Does anyone know a great color match for the Marine pebble Coach color? Hubby is trying to restore a bag we found. Original item looks like this. Has some staining and wear and think with the right match it could be beautifully restored. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Or advice on direction. New to this rehab

I don't but you could take it to a paint store have them mix up a custom match. It wouldn't be leather paint but I think it would work on pebbled leather.
I'm curious if anyone has found a color match for my light Manor bag. I believe it is "Khaki." Not quite as light as bone, more beige.
