Dear @cavalla, so as not to inhibit others from sharing their new treasures on the SS 2018, I decided to move our discussion on the PdS CSGM cw05 here. As promised, here's a photo of Pirouette au Galop and PdS to show the difference between marine and caban. I feel that marine is a shade darker than caban - but both are truly deep inky blue tones.

This looks absolutely beautiful litchi, and so far it’s my top contender for CSGM purchase. My only question is the “saumon” because in the photos it looks much more like orange. H saumon is usually more like a peach color. What is it IRL? Thanks!!!

Oh dear, do you have an easier question? :biggrin:

I'll take another photo, BBC. I feel it's not a difficult colour to wear. The big tassels at the bottom are tricky to capture because the soft saumon colour are lines on the naturel background (it's not a solid block of colour).

I'll be back...

Thanks so much! [emoji8][emoji254]
It’s a unanimous opinion among me and my SAs that orange makes me look...well, orange![emoji51][emoji51][emoji51] Peach/salmon is good, but once it gets to be a bit less pink and a bit more orange, it’s like there’s a point of no return...not a good look on me. [emoji15]

Here are the tassels -- you can see the salmon stripes on an even lighter peachy background (I hope what I'm saying is visible)...

Hopefully, when you see it irl, this is a colour that's flattering for your complexion!

Another puzzle for me is, is there a black part (centre rectangle framing the armour to the left of this photo) or is it just a deeper shade of caban (caban on right side near the shishi dog)...? Some salmon on the rope knots are visible in this section, too.

It does look black. I will have to see it in bright light IRL but from here I agree!

THANK YOU, dear @litchi!! Every time I see your photos of PdS I fall hard for it again. Next to marine, caban seems more blue, which is a great news for me. Makeup is mandatory if I want to wear black black, but blue black is fine for me, and the more blue the better. This is definitely a good news for me. Like others I was a bit concerned about the "saumon" as well, I don't do well with salmon color right next to my face or in big portion. But H color allocation is interesting. I often notice that they incorporate some saturate nice blues or cool-toned violet / lavender near saumon when there is saumon and make the scarf overall very wearable. A good example for me is the Point d'Orgue moussie with marine and turqoise. looks like this PdS is no exception. It's genius! I'm really looking forward to getting my hands onto this CW!

Thank you for taking the time to share these photos, litchi!

You're welcome, cavalla! And you made a good point about H genius of placing deep blue or cool violet next to a contrasting saumon so that it balances out the pop colour into something harmonious and wearable.

It looks like that rectangle on the left is actual black, as opposed to the very dark inky blue. The Jaguar Quetzal 90 has something like this going on in CW 01. There are butterflies and other things that are outlined in actual black, but other areas like the tail that are blocked in a very dark grey.

May I join your merry band today? This was waiting under the tree this morning. [emoji2] So excited!

I fell in love with this scarf one night when I was reading this thread thanks to @Joannadyne and her fantastic recount of her museum tour and then when I saw @weibandy and her strikingly beautiful CW 14, I had to have one!

Finally a scarf that Mr Bcat can understand (and appreciate)!

We are twins on this CW! It's my favorite!
Happy New Year to you and all the PdS lovers!
 
Quick shots of the much-anticipated CSGM in cw 05 caban/bleu ciel/saumon. I'm happy to confirm -- it is blue! :yahoo: Not blue-green or teal or turquoise as it looks from website photos.

I also posted this in the SS2018 scarf thread. I'm unable to share mod shots, but I'm so thrilled to have it! :heart:
