bretiny, i only have the pink w/gold hw, and i love the color combo, silver hw seems a bit too sharp IMO, and gold hw flatters my skin tone more also matches my concept of using Chanels for formal outtings(gold=formal, silver=casual), I am old school in terms of handbags. I think pinkpiano start a great thread about pink Chanel bags, and i do recall there is pix of both gold and silver hw of pink Chanels.
