Since Chanel gave a small peep back in the fall for the upcoming spring 2010 colors, I thought I'd dig into my stash and pull out my colors that are similar to Chanel's Particuliere.
Google Chanel and Particuliere, but I just realized I left out the very important You Don't Know Jacques from the swatches. Tomorrow is another day...or Monday...whichever I will do when I get the urge. For now, here's colors that are similar to Particuliere.
Note: Particuliere was described as a muted understated grey that would complement the Chanel 2010 collection, but when I saw it on the model, I gasped and thought...aww yea, baby - the mid 90s are back! And how I loved the colors.
I'll stop now, but remember, click the thumbnails to embiggen...Now on with the pics.

Channelesque - Shade (L); Sunlight (R)
Found this in the bargain bin for a mere $1.50. Woo hoo! I love this color because way back in the mid 90s I had a color called Stone from Revlon. I used every last drop in that bottle...and wept when I could find no more. I found my dupe, but what a pity it's discontinued. Such is my lot in life...It's funny how Chanel says it's all about Grey this spring, yet doesn't this color seem more mushroom-esque to you?
