I was looking at a pair of service boots in Loden Janus Calf Suede and see quite a lot of variation in terms of color. I'm wondering if it's the photography or the leather itself. My understanding is that loden is typically a green/brown mix.

Withered Fig's version is closer to Viberg's own photo:

As far as I can tell, these are all the same suede, as least going by name. Are there large variations between runs? If not, whose photography most closely matches the actual color?
