    Default Piazza Mocha and Caress Bark - More Black than Brown?

    I got samples of the Piazza Mocha and Caress Bark from H&M in the mail and they are darker than what I thought - the samples both look almost black in color. I've seen pictures of the Piazza Mocha and other "mocha" H&M leathers on this forum in finished furniture and they look more like a dark brown/chocolate. Do these leathers look more brown when made up into chairs and sofas? Just wanted to check if my eyes are playing tricks on me.

    Those are both dark chocolate browns, about as dark as you can go without being black.

    Keep in mind the photos I post here are 1) Not color corrected (who has the time to do that? Not me!) and 2) Usually taken outside in direct sunlight. They will definitely appear darker indoors.

    Thanks, Duane. Does the bark have more green tones in it than the mocha?

    Also, how noticeable is the two tone effect for Piazza in mocha? I know the Caress leathers are known for being relatively consistent and I've seen pictures of Piazza leathers in lighter colors (Piazza Tobacco) where that effect seems fairly obvious.

    No green in either that I can see, that's typical for leathers that are labeled as "Mink". Caress is mono-chromatic, there are no high/low tone effects in that series. The Piazza series DOES have these effects, though they are not particularly heavily done.
