The back of the tag could help. Take pictures of the full bag in different angles and lighting. That helps me the best. I'm pretty sure it is Sapin though.

Hi, Saira.

Finally got a chance to take more pics, I'm hoping you're the resident green expert around here! :)

Here are some pics with and without flash, next to an orange item and one with a true white hairband in the pic, but for some reason the flash makes it look off white!

Please let me know what you think when you have a moment - thank you!

Hi Lauren, I am starting to think that this bag is 2007 Anthra which had very strong green undertones. Sapin is a very dark green and in the flash of you pics, it wouldn't come out looking so grey. That's what makes me believe that it is likely Anthra. What color is the stitching on the bag and the zipper tape? If it is green it is Sapin, if it is a blue/grey then it is Anthra. Hope that helps.

Hi, Saira.

I can't believe this is Anthracite, it's very very green. I had an Anthracite City, I can't remember if it was 2007 or 2008 but it was so Civil War uniform blue/gray that I could never carry it. This is not even close to gray or blue in person.

I've attached two closeups of the stitching/zipper tape, they look forest green to me.

Hi Lauren, I can only do so much looking at photos. A lot affects my perception,
Lighting, angles, flash, etc. If in person, it looks more like Sapin and has the green zipper tape, it is likely Sapin.

Okay, thank you, Saira. I'm starting to think I might be color blind! ;)

You're not. There were a couple pictures with the flash that made me doubt, but having a second look at your photos on my desktop solidifies that it is Sapin. There are some Anthra bags that can look extremely green, even though they are grey. The undertones can be tricky.

Oh, great, Sapin it is then! Thank you, Saira. Really appreciate your help. Have a good day!

Hi all, I just want to confirm the colour of this bag. I've tried searching here and the net and I can't really determine which it is.

I purchased this pre-loved and no paper cards came with it. However I've attached a pic of the serial numbers at the back of the tag it reads 235439.1243 1669.

I think it's Gris Ciment? But I can't really determine or remember what year the mini poms started.

If anyone knows, it would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Saira, I am looking to buy this Twiggy from a Private Seller, whom listed it as an Electric Blue Twiggy. However I did some comparison from the Reference thread and it looked like it has some purplish undertones, so was wondering if it could be Outremer instead? Looking for your expert eyes to help me identify this please :) Year card is lost so I can't tell too. Photos attached, thanks!

From the photos, it definitely looks like Outremer. To be sure, do you have the mirror? If it is FB, it would have a pocket. I think it is too "electric" to be FB though.
