I find myself always attracted to tan colour leather, even tho i realize now that it's not as versatile as a dark brown or even medium brown. Maybe it's cuz you're able to patina it easier and make it your own, where as darker browns you're more just maintaining that colour when polishing.
This part of your comment even tho i realize now that it's not as versatile as a dark brown or even medium brown
is another aspect to those ligther colors.
I'd rather pay my maximum on colors that are more versatile, and I can obtain maximum utility. A medium brown to dark brown (depending on style) can be used for four seasons (in NY anyways). Were I to live in the Caribbean, or some tropical part of the country or A tropical country, the utility would differ. YMMV is absolutely applicable with these lighter colors.
I do agree that you can essentially customize the lighter colors compared to their darker counterparts, but for those lazy folks you shouldn't have to.
