can someone explain the 07 anthra to me?? I've heard some people say it has NO green undertones and other say it's teal.. which to me suggests a mix of green blue? I have seen pics which is hard to gauge from but can someone sort of describe this for me?

people seem to love the 07 anthra. also I thought gris tarmac was going to be true slate gray, no undertones. thoughts ??

hey there, here's my 07 anthra first. this is a true depiction of the color. there are no green undertones and it definitely leans more towards blue. It's a really pretty color and quite neutral.

oh wow that's really blue! I like it. so when people have anthra's they describe as green undertones they must mean more like true green running under a greyish/dark. whereas this was true teal blue. kinda cool! thanks!

yea, anthra is such an interesting color. I've seen ones that you would definitely class as green and ones that are grey but this one can't be mistaken for anything but grey/blue.

yes I just posted a thread with my new anthra hence all my curiosity on the color. it too seems to be very solidly blue grey rather than green and it's mind boggling trying to figure this bag out. literally changes color every 10 seconds:p

thank you! it's really a great neutral and goes with just about everything. Seems like anthra is just a grab bag of colors!

Beautiful color! I just got an Anthra Velo and it is gray with some blue, but not nearly as lovely as this color!
 
*RedSkater's* picture is spot-on re: the 2007 Anthra (which had a lot of teal/blue undertones to it). Personally, I prefer the 2007, but there are quite a few folks who prefer the more grey version.

I've seen the pics of the 2012 F/W bags, and I can tell you that the Gris Tarmac resembles the 2007 Anthra more than the current Anthra bags have.
 
I have seen the showroom pictures and the F/W swatch card. My source asked me not to disseminate and I will respect that but I can spill about the additional colours.

Bleute - this looks like a medium blue
Lagon - a turquoise-y blue
Latte - it looked like Militaire on the swatch card but in the showroom pictures it looked like a cross between Papyrus and Gris Poivre

In general everything looked very shiny - it has a bit of a sheen that I have seen with this season's bags. Personally I prefer a more matte bag. I was excited about Mango but I was hoping for more orange tones but as it is, it looks like it will be not hugely different from my Mimosa bag.

OH NO! I was also hoping for a nice orange this time...
