AIBU to ask if this handbag is black or brown?

[Miiaaoow]

I cannot for the life of me tell the difference!?!

The colour is listed as 'moonlight' which insinuates that it's black, but in some of the photo's there is a definite brown tinge to it.

I loathe the colour brown.

First world problem, I know. But pleeeaase help me with this one.

I think black but as it's matt and not shiny it looks brown. In a couple of photos the straps look black but the bag brown. Sorry, no help

Brown, but I preferred the navy anyway

It's black. Definitely black. All the people voting for brown are nutters. Have you ever thought that the colour of the sky at midnight is brown? No. Why would they call it midnight if it had any brown in it? It would be called Bourneville or Cocoa or something like that. Crazy people.

This is like the brown/blue, white/gold dress thing all over. Are you just trying to mess with our heads?

just ring up a John Lewis and ask them.

V dark brown.

Classy i think, I like it.

I wish companies would just label their products with a proper colour name. ''Moonlight' FFS

I think dark grey. If you look at the close-up, it looks black, but if you click on the navy version that actually looks a darker colour.

It's dark brown.

I'd say it's the darkest blue you can get before it tips over into black. Which would go with the 'moonlight' description, I'd say.

Deffo not brown though.

John Lewis has it categorised under black, I notice.

I agree with farewellfigure, there is no way they'd use the name Moonlight for a brown bag.

It's a natural black colour - looks the kind of colour that is very versatile and can be worn nicely with a black outfit and also is ok with a neutral outfit with Taupes or khakis. I find if I have a black bag it's wrong with these neutral type colours. I have lovely boots this colour and they go with black or earthy colours equally

Dark mink sounds about right. Nice bag, apart from the chains on the strap. Much nicer without chains.

It's not black anyway, OP.

I can't see any brown at am

UPDATE! - I contacted them via the online chat thingymajig..

The lady I was talking to thought it looked brown. But she checked the system and it was listed under 'silver', so possibly a dark grey.

So she then phoned the shop floor, where that person couldn't decide on the colour either! They said it was more of a grey colour than a brown. Not a dark grey colour but more of medium grey/silver?!?!

She then reiterated that it was definitely NOT brown.

It is definitely black! What's wrong with you people!

Is it possible that the shop assistant was looking at the putty coloured one?
In the spirit of the white/ black dress I see dark brown

I think it's meant to be black, but the brownish sheen suggests it might fade to brown. I had a "black" bag from Mantaray that did the same thing, so I'd be a bit wary of this one.

Black! on every picture.

It depends which way I angle my laptop screen.

Moonlight is a daft name for it.

Undoubtedly black!

Shop assistant must have been looking at putty version surely!

White and gold.
No, it's actually black or very dark grey.

Very dark taupe.

Charcoal.
