Does 2006 "Olive Brown" go by another name?

[faintlymacabre]

I looked at the colours by season reference threads and none of the 2006 swatches show this colour. Is it from a different year, or called something else?

(I tried to post this in the Reference forum but apparently I don't have permissions. Apologies if it is in the wrong area.)

Marron! Really!

Ok, so I've found 2 Olive Brown bags for sale, and their pictures look nothing like the Marrons I've seen on here... including your gorgeous new acquisition.

Are these ones just super faded or something?

French's Marron is from 2004 so it does look different.

The one posted above is the 2006 Olive Brown/Marron.

^^^ and the name is a misnomer, it really is a dark brown. No red undertones though. The one in your pic is either washed out by the flash/lighting or it has faded. Do a search and/or look in the reference section, you'll find quite a few pictures of 06 marron.

Thing is, the pics I posted were of two DIFFERENT "Olive Brown" bags! Thus I thought the colour was totally different from the Marron.

Crazy how some fade so much and others keep their colour flawlessly. Thanks for your help, everyone.

Someone snapped up the 2nd (pictured) bag on eBay!!
