Would you say that colour is more havanne or Chocolat?

I am thinking of havanne or choc in evergrain. Can't decide which colour as I can't pinpoint actual colour when googling.

Leaning more towards a brown without red undertone. Like a cool dark brown.

I quite like the colour for choc togo. What is the colour equivalent in evergrain? Need to keep my options open.

Looking for a B35 for travel and sometimes for work if necessary. Goes well black and neutrals with flats and sneakers (I dress laidback) and goes well either colours in summer.
Many examples of all these colors in the reference library, which tends to be more accurate and more qualified than Googling.

The colour of the pictured bag is more likely Havanne than Chocolat (based on the resin, which seems brown to me). Prune and Havanne will have medium to heavy red undertones in Swift, so I would avoid those if you want more of a flat, dark brown colour.

I don’t believe Evergrain ever came in Chocolat, so if you want an Evergrain bag, it sounds like Ébène would be the best option for you!:yes:

I will look into ebene evergrain.

A cool dark brown might be marron fonce or ebene, but both are darker than the bag in your pic.

ETA: just realized @r luvs h mentioned ebene in the post directly above
Thanks for the rec.

Thanks, will head over there.

Any idea what this engraving on the bottom right gold sangle means? Did an extensive search… not employee sale, not artisan owned, not SO, not exotic…. What is it?!

May need to click the picture to enlarge to see it as thumbnail cuts off.

This hallmark is on all gold hardware. If you search the forum, this question has been asked many times.

Options:
-chocolate/cafe clemance
-havanne evergrain (should I also cross this off due to red undertone?)
-ebene evergrain
-ebene barenia faubourg (will this get darker overtime?)
-marron fonce in fjord

I am after a brown bag that looks dark brown indoors under natural light. I am finding it extremely difficult to decide. Please help. Also considering weight of bag. Bag will be in phw.

Don't knot how else to decide. Would like dark brown to act as a black accent like in this photo. What bag would go with this pic? (Please excuse the dust).

I've had quite a few Havanne bags in my time and to me, all of them read a bit purple. If you want a purely "brown brown", I would not choose Havanne.
