Hi everyone!
Please could I ask you all if anyone can tell me what the colour of this Cervo Loop is, see picture below:
I have just received it from NM, and thought I was ordering a much darker grey, see pic below...
I love the bag! But was so surprised with the colour which is like a light to medium putty colour. It is much, much paler than I expected, and I am concerned now about marking it - it is not the robust grey colour I was expecting / hoping for.
NM customer services were unable to help, they couldn't tell me about colour, and referred me to one of their stores but I was passed around a bit before the line rang off...! I am in the UK, so I will try calling a UK BV SA tomorrow to discuss colour, but also I wondered if any of you lovely ladies could shed any light on the colour of my new bag? Is this the same colour as the NM link, 'Light Gray'? I was searching through all the threads trying to find something I thought was comparable, and Fumé looked possible?
Thank you in advance for looking!

It’s really hard to tell with one picture. I assume it’s a current bag if you just received it. Could be New Light Grey, New Steel... can you take a few more pictures in different light? They aren’t as light as your photo shows though.
If all else fails, you’ll have to ask at BV and have them run the serial number.

hello again,
Further to my question about the mystery of the colour of my new cervo loop from Neiman Marcus, above, I called BV in London and a very helpful SA confirmed the colour is Fumé and not the light grey I thought I was getting...! I am getting used to the colour now, after the initial shock!
See pics below, the last one is the Fumé cervo taken against my Disco messenger in Sand...

In the last picture One is Cervo and the other is Napa
Even if they were the same color they would look different
Cervo is deerskin
Napa is lambskin
The different skins take color differently
This bag has the newer tag, so not sure if the color can be IDed? Thank you so much for any help in trying to determine the color:

i have New Red from 2013 with similar one line code, and it does not look like New Red to me.
I can suggest it could be Blood from 2012, as that red had a bit of blue-ish undertone to it.
Does it look the same in the sunlight?
But the most secure way is to ask the SA to check the code in the system
Blood just slightly pre-dates the one-line codes and has its own code.i have New Red from 2013 with similar one line code, and it does not look like New Red to me.

i saw one bucket with one line code, asked SA to check, she said - Blood, 2012
that's how i knew it
The seller states she wore it once so I would ask when she bought it. She also claims to have part of the “store tag”. If you’re interested, I would contact the seller and ask - it will give you some kind of clue.
My best guess is Fraise.
Truffle? Ebano?
