Yes, definitely Paprika, its orangy rust (darker than Rouille though). Thank you dear muchstuff for always being there to correct me!:biggrin:


Thank you both for helping! May I ask, if you don't mind, what's the difference between Paprika and Tomato?

In some lights the bag does seem very red so much hints of rust color so I just curious how both of you distinguished the Paprika colour.

Either way, I'm still very happy with my lucky score on this 2007 chèvre leather, in practically brand new condition! There was no scuffs at all and the handles are still very tight!

I can't wait to bring it out for a spin.

Tomato is red and paprika dark orange rust color, maybe with reddish undertones. I've never seen one irl ;)

Just to clarify, I was only pointing out that both colours existed in the same season, I personally find some colours very tough to tell apart, especially on my monitor! Here's a pic of an 07 rouille Work and an 07 tomato City from a tPF thread. The lacing on the handles look quite different in colour...yours seems closer to the tomato actually, aalinne you may have been right the first time. What does everyone think?

Yes, for the lacing should be tomato but I'm not sure 100%..

romanticomedy perhaps a stroll through the reference threads would help. Note that the pic of the rouille I pulled up was in the orange thread as opposed to the red, you may want to look through both!
 
If you look on the PF colour charts both the 06 S/S rust colour is called rouille as is the 07 F/W paprika. I think aalinne just hit the wrong key, there's no dispute that it's an 07.
No double thought on this,
just wanted to make it clear for others, who read this and have less experience to tell the year by a glance only, speaking for myself - it took me months to educate myself to know the years, leathers, colours.... lol :biggrin:
do you have either of the 2? I have only tomato, so i can't make a side by side snap,
but we could take snaps of our bags in similar conditions and then cross compare them here (e.g. in the daylight against white background) to see how far they are, maybe we can find which shade it comes closer to?
