What is the difference between Sandstone, Sahara, Mastic, Oatmeal?

[bagpunk]

Sorry, I have been away from B-bag forum since my last purchase of the violet brief GSH, so this question may sound very basic, and very late!

I tried searching various threads on this info, but could not find any comparison pic.

I fell in love with some stranger's B-bag. It was a combo of something which looked like one of these colours, and giant gold hardware. I don't normally go for neutral B-bags, but I just love the one I saw. I am sure they are no longer in stores. I am not even sure which seasons they are from. I think I may have to look for pre-loved ones now...

Can someone help me with these colour differences....?

Thanks so much!

Mastic and Oatmeal are the same, by the way, unless you are talking about the 2003 Mastic with pewter hardware. Both are very beautiful neutral color.

so is sahara closer to sandstone? or mastic/oatmeal as pictured there?
i am definitely looking for something more like sandstone rather than the oatmeal.

I would say sahara is the lightest among them. Mastic would be closer to Sandstone. I am also looking for Sandstone but I'm so banned right now! Good luck, though!!

Go with the Sandstone. You can't be wrong. I used mine lots of time but there's no sign on darkeing handle! I had hard time finding that beauty.
