Vert de Gris vs. Vert Maquis

[fonnas]

Hi everyone,

Can someone please share photos of their Vert Maquis please?
I have a few SLGs in Vert de Gris so wanted to see some Vert Maquis or if you have both why not side by side?
For those who are H color experts, would you say VM has more Green in it vs. VDG? I am after the one who is more green. VDG is defiantly more grey dark looking.

Thanks for the help.

It really depends on the production year and leather, but as far as recent productions, Vert Maquis is more consitently green than Vert de Gris*. If you don't mind an older bag, the original productions of Vert de Gris (c. 2012 in Clémence, Togo, and Sikkim) were much greener**.

Perhaps better said: Vert Maquis is, as its name suggests, generally a brownish/military green. On the other hand, Vert de Gris is, as you mentioned, generally a grey-green.

*The only really green productions of VdG I've seen recently were from AW21 and SS22 in Epsom and Togo, respectively.
**In fact, in my opinion, the original productions of VdG look nearly identical to the more recent productions of VM!
