Question about reds...

[calisnoopy]

I bought a red bag from Aloha Rag last summer and Im not sure what that red is called. I recall there were color swatches with names by season on atelier.naff but those pictures seem to be gone now.

Is there anywhere I can still see colors by season with the names on the color swatch charts?

Also, what was the red called from Spring 2006?

Thanks!!

There were two reds released in 2006: grenat (the burgundy-like color), and rouge vif (bright red). I think you can see swatches and/or photos of all past season's colors in one of the Reference Library forums above.

Oh, and I forgot to mention rouille (rust color) that was also released in 2006.

Here's the red family thread: http://forum.purseblog.com/balenciaga-color-reference/red-color-family-pics-only-141137.html

SPRING 2006: Rouille
FALL 2006: Grenat (aka Bordeaux) and Rouge Vif.

Which style did you buy? Because I know over the summer (last year) they still had some Rouge Theatre left from FW 2005.
