Hi all, I've been away for a while but I'm back  ;). Here's the updated photo of my Signature Lite collection. From what I know, there aren't any more existing colours (at least for now). Olso, solid blue and white weren't offered in stores but only through B2B (business to business, advertising). Enjoy
P.S. @Huntsman, you know what to do with the photo  :cheers:

Bottom row, third from the left... What color is that? It kinda looks like Brown Translucent. It's been a LONG time since I've been really following Victorinox releases so I'm wondering if that's a true brown or if it's just faded Black Translucent.

Check out the photo at the top of the Wiki colours page
https://sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Color+Palette

Top right looks to be translucent brown - So it looks like a genuine brown.
I am assuming Nele’s Signature Lite is pretty old.

You might also wanna check who took the Wiki image  :D :cheers: :o

It's officially called "Onyx" first shown in US 2001 catalog (PN 55193). That's the only one I have and shades in photos are not always accurate so can't talk about fading but from what I've seen they are dark grey with brownish shade.

@Huntsman: It's got a red LED so it should be before 2009/10. It's been slightly used and out of the box so some fading is "natural"  ;)

OK - Interesting debate.

The onyx colour was available on the Classic, Signature, SwissCard and Cybertool  which is a translucent black/grey
I always though that the Signature in Nele's picture was a different colour and really was a translucent brown

So the mystery continues - at least for me - Can anyone help?  ???

Don't know what so say except the colour/shade is definitely different from Swiss Card Onyx (I have Lite version and it's way darker) and 91mm Voyager (which is more greyish). Here is the piece from the 2001 NAM catalogue showing the "Onyx" along the other transparent colours available at the time. I know those pictures sometimes don't reflect the real colour but it doesn't look as greyish as other Onyx scaled models.  :dunno:
