Pics as below. Mirror undye.

Is she Rouille from 07?

I conditioned her with apple condition. She looks pretty. But the handle looks bad though and abit rough.

I will be redyeing her I guess as Im unable to get rid of all the tarrago dye as some hiding in the grains.

Considering a navy or black for her.

Any recommendation?

Yes 07 rouille. It looks much better after conditioning. There are tons of tips in the reference library for restoration. Check there. I would not dye this poor bag again.

There are so many brown tone in bal.



I was also quite confused.



How you manage to spot truffle from the chart?



The chart looks so much lighter which I didn't even suspect that.

There are a lot of brown options, but I don't always just go by color. There are usually other identifying characteristics that I use. Truffle varies greatly, as well as each bag, and the chart color usually isn't the best indicator. I'll post some pics of Truffle so you can see.

Because Saira is our resident color & style goddess!! :queen:

She seriously has a gift-

I have my absolute favorite Bal of all time because of Saira.. I explained the color I was seeking and she directed me to the year & color name- I found one & it is exactly what I wanted.
2012 Dark Violet.. I said Concord Grape Juice and Saira knew immediately what to recommend.. :D
We adore her:heart:- she's a treasure to this forum that's for sure..

Great! Thanks for your time!

You are super experience!!!!

This is my first brown bag. I know what you mean because same colour leather looks differently on different models.

These pics posted are before I condition her.

But she looks quite alike, slightly darker and even tone.

Hi!! I thought I could figure it out myself but it's driving me crazy. I just bought this velo - it's GRGH and it has the original nonadjustable strap. So I know it has to be one of essentially two colors in two small season windows, lol. My true instinct is anthracite but it seems so blue that I keep waffling - is it possible it is dark night? I feel like it's not dark enough? But it's so blue, lol. You ladies are the expert :) three photo shots - one alone against a cornflower blue like bed sheet, the other next to my canard Bal Moto sleeve, a brown sunglasses case and a black tank (for color comparison) and the back of the tag. Help!! It's driving me insane, lol.

Thanks very much! One more question, sorry...when I look at the colour charts for 2008 I see vert thyme and emerald but no evergreen. Are emerald and evergreen one and the same or did evergreen just not appear on the 2008 charts? Thanks again!

Hmm..., I see it there. 2008 had two greens, vert thyme and evergreen/emerald. Some may refer to it as emerald, but it is mostly referred to as evergreen.
