I for the life of me can’t remember the color of my picotin. I think it was Gold but I am not so sure as it looks so different from my gold Kelly and Birkin(but they are in very different leathers). Bonus if you can name the rodeo colors!

Is it possible that this is a bicolor B35 from 2010?
I have a hard time distinguishing dark blue from black so it is driving me crazy.
The interior looks like it is a dark blue to me. It doesn't match the interior of my BBK when I hold them up together. I will try for a pic under natural light as the seller pic is too dark to tell. Stitching is definitely not black. In person the sangles look black but the sellers pic has a blue tinge so that could just be the photography. Exterior was described as black tadelakt and it seems to fit the description of that leather. Comparing next to box, box is a deeper black and this has a smooth but slightly waxy feel with a sheen. Stamp is silver, no horseshoe. Can anyone help? TIA!

I feel like I have seen photos of this bag posted somewhere on the forum recently. My question is whether it is bicolor vs actually all-one color and faded in some areas?

I won't be able to get pics in natural light until the weekend but I did compare the sangle to the underside of the flap and they both look black to me. When I compare it next to the chevre interior though, the interior looks blue. I will get pics next to items that I know are navy and black and post. Just a nice surprise if that is the case, not that anyone else would be able to tell given the similarity. Too bad Hermes doesn't stamp colour codes too.

Hello everyone! Can I please ask if anyone would know what color this is? Is this ébène?

Would you say the leather is clémence?

It also looks like there is some sort of contrast stitching.
Thank you in advance!

Gosh this is a hard leather to get good pictures of! I am starting to think the exterior is an off-black perhaps? Colour is even, underside of the flap and clochette also match the exterior, so I don't believe it has faded. It is a B35 from 2010. Next to black box HAC it is definitely softer and matte with a sheen where the box is glossy.

Interior with flash. Black box clochette on top. The flash brings out the blue but IRL it is darker, more navy
