thanks roey!
any way you could do a shot of all four together? :smile1:
i always thought the 07 version had more green in it (my 07 anthratwiggy does) and the 08 was more of a charcoal, but your 08 GSH seems to have some blue in it...
 
^I'll try. The weather has been rainy and cloudy this weekend so far.

Anthra varied per season per bag. There was so much variation in color within the seasons and with different hardware. The 07 GGH Anthra is a shade darker and more blue than 08. The teal tones in this 07 only come out with a strong flash. When I chose my 08 SGH city I asked the s/a to pick out the one with the most blue tone but the predominant color is grey. The 09 SGH Anthra midday is a shade darker than the 08 SGH city with a bit more blue undertone.

I'm pretty certain different cameras and light sources will capture Anthra differently so what we see on screen is not going to look exactly like what we see IRL. For example, the two pics of my SGH city were taken with different cameras, and my current camera will not pick up the texture like the old one did. It looks smooth and lifeless in the second photo.
