I have 2 Maldives bags & a brand new Papeete; I'll try & post some photos of them together as soon as I can.
But they are totally different colours. You definitely need to get both!
Maldives is light blue-aqua; Papeete is slightly darker green-turquoise. They're both amazing colors in their own ways.
Maldives is less intensely colored, and even with new Maldives has a slightly pale and faded air that gives it a delicate and ethereal look. I love Maldives insanely. Of all the Bal colors I think it's the one that looks best with silver, it's not metallic at all but a light & veiny Maldives almost looks like it shimmers.
Papeete is a different animal. It's more saturated & a bolder and more robust color. It's not at all like other green shades - it's not like a green you find often in nature so it stands out. It's a fun, modern yet retro color - think 50's crockery.

I'm looking for something in papete, if the right one ever turns up. Torn actually because I am usually a classic HW gal, but papete looks so amazing with GSH.
These pale blue/aqua colors are so hard to capture! They totally change depending on the angle of the light. These are useful only to compare to Maldives. Papeete & Maldives are quite different colors and have different moods.
Papeete looks blue here - IRL is it greener. These are just to compare it with Maldives (which is blue).
One last comparison - Papeete with a different Maldives bag. The Maldives color is accurate, but Papeete is greener than this
