Have you considered rouge tomate?
Caruava :flowers: Isn'RT a true red?? H reds have always been out of my radar to be honest so they are new to me. I don't own anything red in my wardrobe but then again I know all H colors are such chameleons. So RT could very well fit the bill! However, I have now these two available, OP and RJ, so will choose one of those. What an awful dilemma, right! :biggrin:
 
I like OP, and it's clear-bright (and beautiful) but I wouldn't call it corral

Have a look at Bougainvillea too
Papertiger!! :hugs:Love to have your comment! Yes, Bougainvillea looks just :love: but I have decided to choose between OP and RJ, just because they are available with reasonable prices. And patience isn't my strongest virtue when it comes to H. :blush:

I have rose Jaipur Kelly in Epsom and it can read orange or pink. I love it and this time of year it’s a great pop of color. I mainly wear it with clothes that have pink in them. I wouldn’t consider it salmon at all
Ah, would it be possible at all to see your lovely RJ Kelly lolafrank??? :loveeyes: Could you think using it with non-pink clothes?? I am more of a neutral tones gal, so do you think RJ requires something bright as companion?
 
I was worried about the bright color but I have enough subdued colors already. I say go for the pop! I think it goes well with GHW.
Thank you so much Sienna220 for the pic of your beautiful RJ Kelly!! :love: It actually looks pretty subdued pinky coral tone.. If you compare to Israeliflava's pic I attached, which one would you say represents the true irl color more?
 
Dear all, thank you so much for your comments!! Would you say this is a good representation of Rose Jaipur? Picture courtesy of our lovely israeliflava (Drooling over her collection :loveeyes:).

Based on the very helpful picture of etoile de mer (thank you so much :heart:)Rose Jaipur and Orange Poppy are extremely close to one another. I need to make a decision tomorrow and I am still very undecisive.. RJ was my first love and then I heard someone describe it as salmon and I started to do this back and forth game which is making me crazy!
I will have an Orange B35 GHW which is muted orange so I would want a Kelly in more bright pinky coral but in "adult" way. Pop but "sophisticated". Bright but classy for a 53 year-old. IYKWIM. :lol:


Ps. Rose Texas looks GORGEOUS, thank you so much for suggestion AnnaE, addiCCted and step2005. As does Orange Field, thank you texas87. However, as new H colors they are out of my price range. Had to take the reseller route!
This is stunning, especially with the turquoise blue. Wow
 
Hi @Nankali, I have pieces in Rose Jaipur and Orange Poppy, both in epsom. Rose Jaipur is a gorgeous deep coral. Orange Poppy has very similar saturation of color but leans orange, also very beautiful.

I hope this pic helps, I just checked it against my actual pieces, and it's a pretty good representation, but both are appearing darker and more reddish than I see in person.

Best wishes with your decision! :flowers:

I didn’t realize RJ snd orange poppy were so similar. That’s so odd because in pics in Togo, they look quite different

@Nankali, so glad my pic was helpful! :flowers: I wish I could get the colors to look more true in a photo for you, but both are beautiful. If you're leaning towards coral, I think you'll love Rose Jaipur. Just a reminder that my photo shows both colors in Epsom, so both may appear a bit different in other leather types. Let us know what you decide. :smile:

Orange Poppy and Rose Jaipur shown in my photo are both Epsom. Yes they are very similar in Epsom, but I've noticed the same color can vary a bit in different types of leather.
 
Rose Texas?
Second vote for rose Texas as well. Very pretty orangey red

Rose Texas is very coral.
I agree with all of the above but in my spotty research, it also depends on the leather. I have a small wallet in chevre and it run coral with a touch of pink. But I remember that I've seen RT in other leathers and it can range from a bright pink to orange. Others here may have more experience and can attest.
 
Periogirl28 :heart: I would LOOOVE to see yourOP Kelly!! Yours is the exact same I have my eyes on! Ha, fluorescent sounds very uncharacteristic of me too but thought it might be a happy bag for me, especially in a cute little Kelly.
Which one would you choose OP or RJ if you could only have ONE Kelly??
I would chose Jaipur as I find the OP more difficult for me to wear with my personal style and wardrobe colours. Please give me some time, I'll get you a pic and PM you. 💜

Hi Hun! My pics are true to life for clemence leather... My B is definitely a bright, juicy, saturated CORAL and noooo salmon. I wanted true coral and when I placed my SO, I saw swatches of RJ in other leathers and I didn't like it as much. Not sure what leather you are considering but RJ looks less vibrant in epsom from what I remember. HTH! :flowers:
