HA! Do I have a story for you or what? I asked my bf to get Black Rocco for me (xmas present), he went to Barney's told the SA what he (or better say I) wanted, and the SA brought him the rocco saying that's the last one in the store. He comes home w/ a big smile kinda like 'surprise!' and opens the bag. I looked at the studs and almost fainted - the SA totally gave him smoke instead of black rocco. Poor guy felt so bad, but you can't really tell the difference since the Smoke one is more like worn-out black (w/ an exception of diff studs) rather than gray. The bag is totally going back to the store, and the SA better not have 'colorblindness' in his resume! I'm beyond sick and tired of Barney's SAs who think they are better than the rest of us and can take advantage of certain people. Ugh ...

My advice is if you want the black one, get it. If you want grey one, get it. This looks very worn-out.
