Confused over BBags.. SOS PLEASE

[QueenDalia]

Ok.. here's the story.. I've been looking for a brown city for a while and finally the SA at Holts called and finally got a 2008 Charbon City.. I love its dark brown color..
Now.. I saw this City Bag that I could get cheaper than the one I bought from Holts (cost me $1350+TAX+ $1520).. The authenticity is verified by this awesome forum.. and now I need to know what this color is and how it's compared to my 2008 Charbon..
This is a 2006 City (confirmed from paper card)... but I can't tell what the color it is (either Truffle or Maroon).. I know it's hard to identify a color from a picture? but those of you who own 2006 Maroon or Truffle can help me..
Also (the more important question) how dark are these colors comparing tho the charbon (which is very dark "almost black")..
I checked the color reference library and figured out that Maroon is darker than Truffle..
If this purse is Turffle then it's out of the question ..I won't get it.. but if it's Maroon then I wanna know how dark the Maroon is comparing to the Charbon..
YOU ROCK BBAD GIRLDS
(The first 4 pictures are the bag in question and the last picture is my 2008 Charbon city)

Based on the pics from the ref library, I would say it's a Marron city - not Truffle. Go with what you like the most, I think they look equally gorgeous!

i am almost sure this is not truffle, coz i have a truffle and it doesn't look close to this color at all.......

I'm glad you found a cheaper option...I hope the colour is right! Good luck

I actually have an 06 Grenat, which I thought is the same colour as Marroon..
but now I am confused..

If anyone can confirm that Grenat is the same as Marroon then I can post you pics of my 06 Grenat

Looks like Maroon to me. Truffle is a much lighter brown.

Marron and grenat are not the same color, marron is a dark brown. Here's a pic from the reference library

I found this listing for a Marron on ebay and it has some great closeups:

The 04 Marron is different than the 06 Marron..
