Trixx that looks like a dirty dirty beige. lol ahh I'm so annoyed! I had the yellow eldridge saved on my watch list and I just deleted it this morning! It's a bright "sun" yellow. It was discontinued in 2000. It's bright and in your face, but very nice. Here's a great page to read up on for your vernis and just about everything else LV:

Oh and the shimmer you're talking about is the best part of vernis! I think it shows up most on the lighter colors more than the dark. However I have seem some older pieces of vernis that have looked just lifeless...kind of like that beige one in the picture lol. It's horrible what a little sun damage can do.

Irissy: YEAH! It IS dirty allright! LOL
jdy324: Is the sun yellow the same as the baby yellow like this?
The vernis leather is soo sentitive Im afraid I'd mess it up but they are TDF. The fuschias retain the most value IMO, they're always running more expensive than the other colours. Good you kept yours! Will check out the link thanks
PS: how do you maintain and store your vernis pieces?

Trixx, here is the same advice I give everyone whenever they ask about vernis.
1. Do not set your vernis down on anything. Especially anything heavily died or on print- like newspapers, magazines. Basically anything with color. When I was using my vernis wallet I would only put it on the bare table with nothing else underneath it. In my purse it stayed in its purseket compartment so it wouldn't have to interact
2. NEVER ever leave your vernis items out in the sun or in a heated area like a car. This won't cause transfer, but instead a discoloration like the beige piece above.
Oh an the yellow, is like the color of these smileys
Kuma, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were only choosing between perle and noisette. I would definitely recommend noisette. It's an all-season color and has a lot of shine to it. The perle is gorgeous, but since you're buying a purse, I'd personally want a more durable color. That's why I suggested either the red or indigo. Lighter vernis colors are much more prone to transfers and discolorations. There was this one girl who had a perle cles and she got transfer on it because mixed in with the heat of it being under her arm, it also rubbed against the red alacantra lining of her pochette!
Here are both yellow colors - the Spring Street is the lime yellow, and the Forsyth PM is mustard yellow.
... and that Lime yellow!!
