since i live in a climate that stays warm for a pretty good bit of time, i'd say that the honey is a great all-year bag; IMO, a medium brown is the most versatile and usable color there is. i don't know much about norther climates or what people wear (i have a hard time even picturing people out and about while it's snowing; everyone huddles in their house here should it ever snow), but i think it would be quite versatile there, too, plus you can wear it with black or other browns, so i say HONEY!
