Is the RLH honey sole everyone is talking about the same as the RLH natural crepe that is on the custom designer tool?

I'm toying with 2 make-ups at the moment. Any suggestions particularly on the first one? In some pictures the Olive looks like a darker version of the Natural and in others I've seen make it look more green. I definitely don't want the latter.

4 eye ranger moc
Either Natural or Dark Olive
Tan thread
Antique brass eyelets
Chestnut laces
Natural midsole
Either RLH Natural Crepe or Montello Minilug

2 eye boat shoe
Parisian Blue
Tan thread
Brass eyelets
Light Brown laces
Honey boat sole

If it helps, my olive loafers are more green. Dunno if I have pics. Hold on a moment while I dig.

This post here claims they are. Must be the lighting.

Maybe. I would not order the olive in the hopes that they will not be green. I'd say stick to natural as it will darken up with age and conditioning and look identical to that.

When I ordered my custom Blake SWBs, Katie sent me some cuttings of some "non-standard" CXL colors that didn't appear anywhere on the customizer. I ended up using something they call "red plum casual". They are arriving next week, along with a second pair in golf green CXL and (drum roll please) navy shell Blake boots. Pics, of course, will be posted.

The boots sound real cool, I can't wait to see some pictures of those.
