Looking at the small Cobble bag and wondering if anyone has compared the Light Brown with Fondant. It is currently available only in Light Brown but Fondant is “coming soon”. I recently saw the Light Brown and liked it but didn’t compare with other bags in Fondant at the time. It seems slightly lighter and slightly warmer the best I can tell looking at pictures. I already have an older Ebano and think Fondant is similar, perhaps even cooler toned and darker. Light Brown while still dark is definitely lighter than both. Any other thoughts on Light brown and Fondant would be appreciated.

By the way, I also considered Deep Pacific and it’s gorgeous - not as turquoisey as it looks online.

Haha, that's interesting that they call that their Light Brown. I agree it is still quite dark. Should probably be called Chocolate or Cocoa or something. (Fondant already has an icing-related or dessert connotation, so they might as well continue it lol).

I think the Light Taupe is closer to a actual "light brown" color.

I think Fondant and Light Brown are both very neutral, versatile colors.
Personally I like Fondant more, but I'm not good with brown colors and find them difficult to match well with my skin tone. Fondant is closer to black so it's easier for me.

Yes, I love the Taupe Grey and it’s lovely IRL but only is available in the mini Cobble. I want the larger one because the larger capacity is still quite small. The rigidity of the design doesn’t allow for any give and these bags aren’t stuffable at all. The mini is hard to get into.
