Please help me choose a color for a Mini Kelly!

I want to put in a wish for a MK. I have a need for a tiny bag just for carrying phone, cards and keys - but have not decided on any color/leather.

Any idea? My only requirement is that it has to go well with the colors of my summer wardrobe.

I have all the H colors I like/need/want already, and as you can se I don’t mind multiplying colors. My go to are gold and etoupe.

I will tell my SA that I’m open for options, but will have to put a specific color down on my wishlist.

Don’t know if I should go safe for gold-gold, or maybe asking for something green… or something totally different.

What do you passionate H-people think?

Looking at your summer wardrobe, perhaps a light color ranging from craie/nata or mauve pale or very light gray
Gris pearl or ( I am having a memory fail) the super light slightly blue tinted white. . . Or for more of a pop, vert fizz

I think yu already have mid to dark neutrals and vivid saturated colors
 
I've been trying to learn more about color theory for my own wardrobe, so I hope you don't mind that I took the liberty to create a palette based on your closet to practice. I'm basically reflecting what @880 already suggested, but a pop of green could be a fun contrast, otherwise it seems like most of your clothing has at least a bit of red in it, so a red or violet bag could blend well. I see a lot of high-saturation color bags, so a pastel bag could add some additional interest/balance as your wardrobe seems more evenly divided between high and low saturation colors.

Hope this helps! I would love to know what you end up choosing.

This is great advice, everyone, thank you! :flowers:

I find it difficult to move outside my comfort zone here, but you have great ideas. I will start by searching for pictures of all the different shades you suggested, and look at them together with my wardrobe, my own colors one so one to find the perfect fit for me.

It might take awhile, but I get back with my conclusion :smartass::yahoo:

Mauve Pale? You have a lot of pinks, and its soft enough to be a neutral.
 
Etoupe for me always work with summery colors. If you prefer to stick to trusty neutrals, greys are lovely for a colorful wardrobe. I favor medium to dark greys as I’m a clumsy user of light colors. Gris asphalt, etain and gris meyer are my favorite greys.

Otherwise bright jewel hues will be lovely too.
