vert de Gris vs graphite

[purseinsanity]

For normal human beings, Vert de Gris & Graphite are similar. But for H fanatics, they are different!

I say Graphite wins hands down!

ITA!

I looooove Graphite!!

graphite seems very cold to me

Not sure about green undertone for graphite, but it is a warm grey (to my eyes) as opposed to ardoise which is a cool grey. Hence, I see brown undertone in it.

Vert de Gris as everyone said is more green with a hint of grey. To me, this is a gorgeous color and I would pick VdG as I much prefer cool greys.

Hope this helps!

I tried to take a picture to help show the difference.

Left - graphite tall bombay Right - vert de gris roulis

I thought be taking the picture outdoors that it would be easier to see the color difference, but I think it makes it harder. I'll try inside later.

I'm surprised at how similar they are! I'm a fan of warmer colors though... So I like the Graphite more.

Well this inside picture doesn't make the color difference any clearer!

sbelle what lovely bags those are! Do you know whether vert de gris always comes with white stitching?

No sometimes it comes with this color stitching (via my blog) - hope that helps!

I was offered a vert de gris Lindy two days ago by my SA. I turn it down and go for blue jeans.

Vert de Gris looks very gorgeous under natural sun light. But when it is indoor, it looks a bit greenish for me. But I would say this is a nice new new color from Hermes.

it's because it is a sac roulis. all sac roulis bags come with contrast stitch no matter the color unless it is in croc.

Wow..I'm surprised at how similar Graphite is to Etain. I didn't realize they were that similar.

Thanks to sbelle, know I know my choice to go with vert de gris was right!
That's sooooo gorgeous!

kat and apey - thanks for the info...yes, how could I not remember your lovely Kelly, kat?

I love both of these colors and would happily have bags in both in my collection if I could!

With all this talk of vert de gris being more green than grey, it made me wonder how it would look against other greens.

I took this picture for a comparison with my other greens
