Oh boy, that French Blue is stunning...it looks like it's practically glowing. LOVE IT!
I don't know if it's just me, but the silver and gold hardware enhance the color of the French Blue more than the regular hardware...the color is so bright that it needs hardware just as bright to set it off....
Dunno, I just purchased a French Blue twiggy w/ regular hardware (still waiting for it)...but I think it looks better with brighter hardware.
Thanks Siri!
