Roey... camera angle.. and MOST importantly... lightening plays a major role in how bBags come out in pictures...

imo.. bBags in natural light w/o flash best represents a bbag.

Here are some examples.. of a charcoal first (that has gone to a new mum :o)) in different lightening.

^ in natural sunlight in a bedroom w/o flash

^^ in direct sunlight

The charcoal come out more "blue" than the rest..

1 more thing.. Leather texture also causes variances in bbags... my current Charcoal SGH PT ... looks a tad lighter with color and leather variances throughout the entire bag vs.. the smooth Charcoal First as shown above. It's all personal preference.. not 1 bBag is the same as the other... LoL.

One of my 08 anthra bags has lovely blue undertones, the other is more grey with a little green in it. I like both but am amazed at the variation:

Thanks for the link drati! Your anthra work is gorgeous!! I wish I could find one with that color tone.

I'm also considering plomb but would prefer to buy new and the chances of finding a new SGH PT or work is probably slim to none. I typically don't like to go the ebay route because sellers mark up flawed bags above retail and it doesn't make sense to buy a bag with flaws or missing parts over retail value, rare color or not.

Really like when I see it on the web but not quite sure of the real color. Is it kinda Black with a little touch of some sort of metalic or silver?? It's hard to tell from the images. Can someone please enlighten me??

check out my video it shows the true colour.
i know its hard to get a feel for this colour online.
here is a true colour representation.

 

[richienickel]

basically its a dark grey with hint on blue in certain light

 

[richienickel]

thats 08 anthracite by the way.
07 anthracite has a more great teal undertone.
i prefer 08.
