There is always a lot of discussion about the Oberon colors.
I am one of those...
Then we post pics saying this is too dark or too light to truly represent.
But then all our monitors view things a little differently.
Plus of course batch to batch and even leathers within a batch will have some variation of hue.
To the end of understanding colors and my own likes and dislikes.
from online pix I have seen the GREEN and the FERN.
My own feeling is FERN is pea soup like, and that GREEN is certainly darker.
I first owned a Oberon Journal (Large) in Saddle.
Then to get some idea of colors, (and knowing I wanted other products)
I just got delivered a checkbook cover (ToL) in GREEN and a business card holder (mini wallet)
in NAVY (H Wave).
The GREEN is dark, even very dark and I "love" it.
Having not seen the FERN (real world viewing) I am still aware it is too pea soupy green for my tastes.
Although I do like pea soup and make a great one myself.
The NAVY item I have is also very dark. in VERY LOW light it will even appear nearly black. I like it a lot as well, I might describe it even darker than NAVY but not quite MIDNIGHT BLUE. If that offers anyone some description.
I have yet to see WINE in real life, although I am very encouraged by a couple of my friends here that have described in as a Rich Burgundy and Merlot. They state it is much deeper and richer than the online pix look, which pretty much look rather "brownish".
When it comes time to get a new cover for my K2 I feel 100% confident in the GREEN, BLUE, and even RED without having seen that one in the real world. I will need a sample eventually of the WINE color as well as most others.
Just my take on this situation at this time.

P.S. I have 2 of the Tree of Life key chain charms, if anyone has duplicates of ANY OTHER charm I would like to swap one with you. I intend to collect all they have. Let me know via PM maybe.

They didn't have the green color then, otherwise i would have gotten that color in a heartbeat.
