Re: Lynne Sofa (5438) in Tiburon Butternut
Yes, color accuracy becomes more an issue with aniline hides and pull-up ones in particular. And Burnished hides are off the charts in term if variance to the swatches, which is why you see all the disclaimers on the back of the swatches that no one reads! The only stable colors in leather are the finished (or painted, or 'protected') ones, as you can reasonably control the paint color via paint formula. We have a saying in the business, "If you want accuracy to the swatches, buy vinyl!"
Sue, you have the right way to approach it, enjoy the variance and the subtleties of the finer leathers. They are more like portraits then photographs, each has it own nuances. Nothing to me is more boring than a painted leather....blah.
