I'm currently considering buying a bag in one of these colors, but for the life of me I cannot decide between Peanut or Suntan. I've seen several bags in these colors ( Colette in Peanut, Hamilton traveler in Suntan, Camden in Peanut and Suntan) but on every picture, the colors seems different. I know there is a difference in shades between saffiano leather & smooth leather, but I cannot find an accurate picture of Suntan or Peanut. Since these are colors difficult to come by where I live, I have to order them online, and I don't want to regret my choice.
Does anybody have a picture of these two colors next to each other, preferably not in saffiano leather? Which one would look better with my Ferragamo shoes? Luggage seems just too dark... Thanks!

I think you might do better with suntan. Suntan is a lighter brown than luggage. Peanut has a yellow undertone similar to a peanut shell. Your shoes look beautiful, by the way, but I'm not seeing much yellow in them. Only you can really tell because pictures don't always capture variations in color.

Thank you! I prefer Suntan as well, which looks like a pink-toned beige color. I'm not sure if it goes well with the shoes (they look like a shade or two lighter than luggage), especially if I compare it with the picture someone posted here: http://forum.purseblog.com/michael-kors/thoughts-on-mk-color-suntan-891920.html but I definitely would choose it over yellow undertones that are harder to mix and match.

Here are three pictures of the Camden, supposedly all in Peanut (at least, according to the three websites that sell them. They all look different so it's very tricky to decide). Could you please tell me which one is the more accurate?

Gosh. It's so hard to tell because peanut looks different depending on the lighting. In bright light is looks like the bag on the left. In normal light it looks like the bag on the right. I also think it looks lighter on soft leather than saffiano leather.

Pinkalicious has a great modeling shot of her peanut Selma messenger in the Modeling Pics Reference thread here (post #448)...

Yes, if it's not too much trouble! Thank you so much! I keep comparing website pictures and it's driving me crazy lol. If returns were easy where I live I'd order and return the bag if the color is not as expected, but sadly it's such a hassle I need to get it right the first time.

Great comparison shot! So from left to right it's dark dune, dark khaki, luggage, peanut, and suntan? Peanut and suntan are really close in color. It looks like peanut just has a hint more yellow in it. Thanks for the pics! :smile1:

Correct!! the suntan has more of a pinkish undertone and the peanut has more of a yellowish...but the difference is minimal.
