This is a gorgeous red, my favorite red is the 1941 Red. I could stare at my Rogue all day.

I was looking for that color chart, thank you for reposting it.
Going by that chart, the color of this Pierre would be garnet, tho they must have made more colors then the ones on that chart, there is no red on there the butter color is missing and then there is this.
There were several reds, including Garnet, Cherry, and Scarlet.
Sutton Satchel in Garnet:
Spence in Cherry:
Gracie in Scarlet (the Biltmore next to it is supposed to be Beechnut, but I think that's a mistake. It looks more like Maple to me):
This Drake is supposedly Beechnut:
But then what color is this beautiful Copley? With its rich mahogany tones, it seems more like the 1995 Beechnut swatch:
The blue bag in the picture you posted could be Celadon:
I had a Drake that looked exactly like that photo of the Drake. I assumed it was Beechnut.
I wonder if the Copley could be garnet, even though it looks a little dark.
Yeah, this is so confusing. It's so hard to judge colors online!
See my Pierre is the color of the Copley and in the 1995 color swatch it locks more like the garnet then the beechnut, any which way I love the color.
The Biltmore I'm waiting on is a 1996 and the navy looks more like the second set of tags you posted , the Carlyle which showed up today is a 1994 and is a very dark navy almost black.
That’s exactly how I felt about the city when I tried it on. I definitely prefer the adjustable straps, not just for customizing to your height / preferred length but I also love the look of buckles! Maybe Patricia will have to go back on my list
Oh wow what a beautiful Copley, is it yours? Love this style, one of my favs.
I prefer the feel and look of the wider straps rather than those on the city. I got rid of my city many years ago because I used to carry a lot more than I do now so it was too small for me. I wonder if I would like it now.That’s exactly how I felt about the city when I tried it on.

Yes, there is some red in the Copley and that sounds more like Garnet than Beechnut.
