Comparisons of Dark Green Trinity with Forest Merinos and Dark Green Vachetta -- taken under a mix of daylight and white fluorescent lighting, fairly colour accurate, I think:

And for those who own or have seen MZ Wallace's Mallard Oxford material, here's a comparison for good measure too (under fluorescent lighting, but still fairly colour accurate, I think) -- the Mallard is more of an evergreen-ish dark green (with more pronounced blue tones to the green), whereas the Dark Green Trinity definitely has less of those blue tones.

More comparison pics of Dark Green Trinity with MZ Wallace Mallard Oxford, Balenciaga's Poker Fonce from F/W 2012*, Dark Green Vachetta and Forest Merinos swatches, and a MZ Wallace market purse in (I think) Forest Bedford (with rose gold hardware) thrown in for good measure (definitely more of an olivey-toned green). Pics are all taken with a mix of daylight and white fluorescent lighting, so it's coming up bright again (though the first pic turns up darker and a bit closer to IRL as a result).

Zhoe Legend in Dark Amethyst Verona (from the newest batch released in February 2018) with silver hardware and silver lining. Customised to add a zipper closure to the main compartment, strap length unchanged. Dark Amethyst is a warm purple (with reddish vs. blue undertones), and reminds me of Balenciaga's Raisin from FW 2009. Third pic is the most colour-accurate on my screens, and also shows the leather softening up a bit already after a full day using the bag.

Penelope in Blue Iris Verona (from the newest batch released in February 2018) with silver hardware and silver lining. No customisations. Shown with the Dark Amethyst Zhoe Legend, with one comparison that also has my Penelope Midi thrown in (I'm 99.9% sure this leather is Dark Blue Verona rather than Dark Blue Trinity). Blue Iris is a lovely medium dusty blue with some purple undertones, a pretty unique colour/tone! It's hard to capture the colour more accurately as the purple undertone doesn't always show up. The fourth pic, taken under fluorescent lighting only, is the closest to colour-accurate that I was able to get (although Dark Amethyst is better captured with the other pics). The MM blog's swatch pic is fairly accurate too, if that helps anyone considering this leather.

All pics above are taken under a mix of indirect natural lighting and white fluorescent lighting (unless otherwise noted). Review also posted in the main Massaccesi thread here.

Your Zhoe Legend was my inspiration for taking advantage of the current promotion. I decided to get a Penelope Messenger in the same leather/lining combination and a matching card holder; I also ordered card holders in Navy Pebbled/Green and Black Pebbled/Marine.
