I see a really distressed black, but don’t go by me. What year/range is it?

The inside in the most protected part is usually the best indicator of original color. I think it is either black or navy. I'm not seeing green.
Thanks! It's very strange. I think it's navy, but when I'm holding it in natural light, I see green. Once I do the rehab will it be more likely or less to show me the real color? It's not black. I'm (pretty) sure of that. It's blue, I guess. I think I wanted it to be green (my fave color) so maybe I'm seeing it that way. Anyway, it's in fairly good condition and I'm going to do my rehab.
Thanks! It's K7B-5130. Made in the United States. 1997?
Here it is in outdoor light next to a known black stewardess bag.
Yes, it should be closer to the original color after the rehab.
Black. Try Leather Honey and you won't believe the difference, poor bag is parched.
I’m throwing my hat in the ring for black as well, mostly based on what the inner suede looks like to me and how grey some of my black bags looked before rehab. That Station bag looks thiiiirsty
Photos are difficult because I think they edit the color as well. After examining in person in every kind of lighting, I still am leaning towards BLUE. I'll share another photo after it has had its bath and conditioner and we'll have another round of "guess the color."

Hi, asking for more opinions on another 'what color is this bag'? Black or Blue? 
The seller sold this Sheridan Monticello as blue, but as soon as I opened the package, I thought 'Black!'. But now I'm not sure. I have a hard time telling dark navy from black in general. These are pics next to my blue Sheridan Richmond which is obviously a blue. As Connie said, it's hard to photograph the exact color. I really wanted a blue Monticello, but black would be ok too.

Whoever can tell the difference must have amazing eyesight and and the ability to see every spectrum of visible light… they both look like some form of black to me, with different undertone 
one looks like a warm-toned black and the other looks like a cool-toned black to me just with these photos… I’d love to hear what others think
Although I do understand that Coach’s navy is notoriously dark with the vintage bags. I have a navy Pierre bag that I cannot photograph properly. In daylight, it’s clearly not black… but in photos or bad lighting? Impossible to capture or tell

It's black. I'm pretty sure the blue of Sheridans would be the same throughout the line, just like your Richmond.Hi, asking for more opinions on another 'what color is this bag'? Black or Blue?

Ah, yes the lighting in that picture is better. The one on the right is certainly Blavy, and the one on the left is black
To me, it looks like the one on the right is blue, and the left, black.
