Something similar has been asked before. Since they were made over a long period of time, not just a season, they came in whatever 10 colors Coach was using at the time. Here are some color swatches from 1980 to 1987.

Welcome back! Can you post a picture of your avatar? I'd like to save that to my library.I saw this post of yours in one of my saved TPF Threads RL Bernstein, and if you're still looking for one of those, I'll keep a look out for you.
I've been real busy with 'Life', and sadly not enough time for TPF late 2016 to the first 1/2 of 2017 (many, many major changes happened in that period of time for my family & I), but I'm gonna do my best to stay in better touch with everyone - both on TPF & off actually.
Also, hope you're doing well and all...and I see that you're keeping BONNIE CASHIN very much 'alive' here on TPF and in your life offline - BRAVO (!) my friend. Late last year I did manage to do a few major (so I'd like to think at least......) events/things IRL/offline - in helping (just doing my part) preserve Bonnie Cashin's Legacy for future generations...then 'Life' got all hectic again - from late October 2016 into 2017, into this Summer, and I'm so hoping all is settled as nicely & neatly as possible by the end of Summer, and by Fall 2017, one way or another I'm gonna systematically make good time for all my Vintage Coach & Coach-related artifacts that I've collected over many years. Just a little FYI if I may in case I hadn't had the chance to share before : I've got some classic well-made more Modern Coach - which I adore too - and I would say that my Collection spans-the-decades since Coach's inception pretty well...but there's a few of the lovely ladies here on TPF who collect Vintage Coach (including You) and those Collections are absolutely BREATHTAKING!
Before I forget, I also saw some other posts of yours about the Coach (some which were EXACTLY what I was thinking about some parts of Coach Inc.'s History) - and I will share those thoughts with you at my soonest/the next time I get back on TPF which I'm thinking should be pretty soon - and I'm very much looking forward to doing that.
AFAIK all the mini-catalogs from the 70s were printed in black & white and didn't include color swatches. The 1979 booklet even says "When you are ready for your next Coach bag, your dealer will be happy to advise you as to prices and choice of colors."
Thank you Hyacinth. What a shame that there appears to be no list of colours for the 70's bags.
Check out this listing for an example of what NOT to do to a classic basic bag: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1970s-Vintage-Coach-Silver-Leather-Shoulder-Bag-Clutch-Handbag-New-York-NYC/132253303249?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649
Oh, that poor bag! This partly explains why it is so hard to find a nice british tan basic bag...
shoulder pouch small #5120. I don't recall ever seeing another.

The Etsy seller NinaDsVintage has had one for months in putty. Also on her account, I forget her EBay seller name, something with Nina and cat in it. Yes, I spend an embarrassing amount of time looking at listings!
Edited for hot mess quoting
Littlemissmuffet808 has sold a couple of 5120s in the past. I'd love to find one in british tan in decent condition. They usually seem to be loved to death.
Cute little pre-creed satchel (not my listing) with make an offer option... not sure the name of this one? https://www.ebay.com/itm/112510105207
