Lovin' the "rare" cordovan colors being displayed here recently. Does the Ravello and Whiskey darken over age?

I've seen #8 and Cigar do the opposite and lighten with wear and sunlight exposure.

The roys look terrific now, and they'll look better when the sole gets a bit beat up.

I'd like to see more pics as well.

I think ravello should get darker the way whiskey does. It's really the dye of cigar and #8 that fades and it seems like the light cordovans get darker.

I just ordered a pair of ravello plain toes today so we'll see what happens. I'm excited to finally get the one color of shell that is missing from my collection!
