i have been taking peeks at my next colours, and comparing emerald with seafoam, and now marigold/mustard (are they really different?) and pumpkin. can you share which do you prefer and why? does it have something to do with skin tone the way clothings are? thanks!
 
I have a mustard first and I'm never seen a marigold IRL, but I think they seem really similar. I alos have a pumpkin city. I LOVE bright colors so that's why I have those ! Here ya go:

I wear no orange and even though pumpkin is crazy gorgeous it's not for me. I love mustard and marigold.:love: Yellow is pretty too but paler and not as saturated as the other 2 yellows. Cassidy your bags look in mint condition. :drool:
 
I got a 2004 yellow hobo bag recently, and it really has a lot of green in it. It isn't close to anis, but has some chartreuse tendencies when you see it in certain lights. I love looking at my new bag, but it maybe isn't the best color for a pale, pinkish person. all of which was meant to get to -- I love the marigold color!

This is from the pics I've seen until now as I've never seen them IRL.

- marigold/mustard (are they really different?)
I believe mustard is more of a uniform color with a greenish undertone as opposed to marigold which seems to have a slight orange marbled undertone. I prefer the marigold myself, I find it richer. The yellow should be pretty easy to match as it's a primary color, especially if you wear a lot of denim or colorful prints.

- pumpkin
Beautiful color, although might be a little more difficult to marry. I find it mixes really well with blues - most especially denim - white would definitely make it's color explode as well. I would not suggest it if you wear a lot of earth tones like greens and browns as I believe it would give it a Halloweenish kind of look.

Hope this helps.
 
Cassidy, do you have a picture of the inner tag of your yellow bag? I've seen the s/s 04 yellow & fw 04 marigold but never the mustard. Several of us were curious as how the tag looks on those when there was yellow bbag confusion on them a while back, but a pic was never posted after several requests.

The marigold has brass, yellow has silver. Also, the marigold is darker (BNY calls it dark yellow), and yellow is brighter, almost a touch of neon but not pale at all (kind of like 04 lilac vs 03 lilac). They're both beautiful.
