It's impossible to show colors accurately via the web, but we're dumb enough to try. Please do realize that no two leather hides are the ever exactly the same and neither are most monitors.
Describing the look and feel of Horween leather types:
Chromexel (CXL) is a very smooth and medium soft leather that still has a meaty feel. It's known for it's pull up character. It shows marks very easily but looks great once distressed. Starts more formal and becomes more casual with wear and time.
Dublin has become one of my very favorite leathers due to it's slightly more firm temper and rich character which has a crackle effect due to the harder wax finish. Using the same recipe of ingredients as shell cordovan, it's neither too firm nor soft, but the perfect in between. It feels more dense than CXL and the pull up and crackled finish make it look more vintage and antiqued with time and wear. It starts out a little more casual than CXL and gets even more so as it distresses.
Shell Cordovan is what Horween is most famous for and for good reason as it is one of the most durable and interesting leathers in the world. Shell has a much firmer feel and is more dense than any cowhide but it does soften over time and ages and patinas in beautiful ways. It looks and feels substantial in a way that is oddly satisfying when you hold it in your hand. The smell is also very special. The cost is high and the available hide size limits us to using this magical leather on small accessories and key parts of briefcases.
