Aero Leather - Colour help needed

[WolferlQ3]

Dear Aero Leather enthusiasts

i´m planning to order a custom Sheene or Board Racer. I´m pretty sure to go for a high class leather in brown. But what leather, what brown.

I want to have something new and with a colour shade, i do not have right now. Currently i´m owning 2 A-2 in Vicenza Russet and Dark Seal, a Cafe Racer in CXFQHH Cordovan, a 1930´s HalfBelt in CXFQHH Cherry and a Dustbowl in CXFQHH Brown

So my original plan was to use Badalassi Steerhide, either in Tobacco or Chestnut. Which one is more close to the brown tones is currently have. I´m a big fan of Tobacco, but i fear it´s to close to Russet. But same with Chestnut, which might be to close to Dark Seal.

Any ideas? Is somebody having those colours and can compare them?

The Badalassi Chestnut I have is similar to dark seal. The Tobacco is a bit different than the Vicenza Russet, it's a bit darker and a lot richer in color, has a reddish tint undertone. Either of these Badalassi leather would be a good choice.

Or Natural FQHH. It starts kind of meh looking but has the most potential for patina growth.
