The light blue one is my favorite, then the pink. I can tell from the comments these colors appeal to women. It's nice to see other color options. I hope these show up in your Christmas giveaway!
I disagree i don’t think it just appeals to women, I think it appeals to people who like non traditional color for their bibles I like the light blue and the green my wife would love the pink.
I do really like the idea of these! I was debating the light blue one but talked myself out of it. Now that the orange is the only option, pretty disappointed I didn’t end up ordering the blue!
Ordered the pink one for my wife. It will be here Monday. My boys 11 and 8 just watched this video and they were like "Oooh dad, that green and blue are cool."
Hi Tim! Thanks for the great Bible review as always. I LOVE LOVE LOVE all 3 of these Bibles colors! They’re gorgeous! And if I had to choose one, I’d choose the bright green with the burgundy ribbons! I already have the Pink Humble Lamb Bible. The bright color Bibles are definitely unique, & that’s why I love them. That’s my opinion. But these 3 Bibles are really beautiful. I love the way they look stacked up together! God bless! 💖💙💚😊
I commented on your Facebook post about these Bibles that I love the green one, and now that I know it has purple accents I love it even more. Mint green and purple are two of my favorite colors. The other Bibles are pretty too, but the green one is more me.
i remember when my mother decorated with purple and mint green and i thought she was plum out of her mind!!!! Then I saw what she did and it was stunning. So i had to eat my words and my criticisms.
I love color! They are very lovely. Personally, I prefer more conservative shades in color, but these are great for those who want something a bit different and of course colorful! 😊
Hi Tim, I think the blue is a little too pale. It looked deeper on the website. I think it's cheerful and would lift someone's mood. I have been looking for that shade of green in a bible for a long time. Even if it was leathersoft. I was delighted to see that green on the Allan Bibles website. There is one on its way to me in the post. Those three colors are gone from the website now. They have a bright orange one for sale today.
I'm so glad you were able to find and purchase a Bible of the exact shade of green you were looking for! I love that color as well. The orange is beautiful, too, and I could see it appealing to a much wider market than these pastels. It's too bad it is only available as a limited experiment.
The pink reminds of the Coral NIV from Zondervan. Which I LOVE! (Thank you for that giveaway Tim!) My favorite part is that I can spot my bible immediately on a table or bench. So definitely a market for these. Just not for everyone. But I REALLY like these, but would switch out those ribbons in the green bible to a cream color for sure.
I really like those colors for them. The green would be fun to have for quite a few reasons and for me the best one is so I could always have a laugh with people about the unique color combo. A giveaway of them would be great!
Wow those are colorful Bibles!!! My fav would have to be the green one, I love green Bibles, normally darker green but this one is interesting. The pink and blue ones look like baby’s first Bible lol
Yes, I like all three of these. O wouldn't choose them for myself, but I have three daughters who would each love one of the colors. There is definitely a market for some brighter colors.
My 17 year old Bible loving self would have loved that green one. Now, it’s a bit bright. Lol. The blue one is really cool though! My dad is a huge UNC fan, and would love that one!
HUGE Tar Heels fan/alum here (heck, I even live in Chapel Hill, have done some campus ministry here). I’m normally not into bright colors either, but that Carolina Blue Bible makes me want to scream for joy. If it was still up on the website I’d be SO tempted to buy it. Heck, I don’t even own any premium Bibles.
I understand the feeling of a not so classic/classy look but I think these will be appealing to younger women or women in general. As for me I love the green and the blue. I do not have an Allan but some day I will.
Exactly, and God made colors for a reason. Shouldn’t matter, long as you’re reading and taking the Bible to heart and seeking God and the Bible is accurate.
I honestly kinda dig them. They actually remind me of the colors of Never Coffee in Portland (one of my favorites). Hey Tim... I'm not sure what it'd take to get one of them on giveaway, but I'm right over here. Specifically that green!
I immediately adore that light blue! It's really pretty. Watching more, though, that bright green one you hate so much I really love and want! Why though? That contrast! It looks really cool!
Wow!! I really think the bright blue is beautiful and when you opened the pink my jaw dropped in a good way lol. The green made me feel a bit nauseous lol. But I think they are all fun colors, I’d choose the light blue it’s so pretty! This was a fun video and I hadn’t heard of Allan Bibles before so this was new to me. God bless!
Even though these bibles are out of my price range I'd probably pick the pink one. There's not that many nice pink bibles on the market and those bibles are nice. Thanks for sharing. God bless you. 🙏🏼
I love the pink, but then pink is one of my favorite colors. Not a fan of the blue and green at all. I have to agree with you on liking the darker colors better. Thanks for sharing!
That light blue one is perfect because I'm from NC and a Chapel Hill fan. The pink looks like the color of the original Hubba Bubba chewing gum wrapper. The green color looks like Puke Green in my opinion.
Think it’s good that Allan are doing these for those people that like brighter colours, but not really for me. (Although I do like Humble Lambs Lunar Yellow!). If I had to choose one (sorry Tim), it would be the bright green 🤷🏻♂️
I need a short of you smelling those brightly colored bibles! Edit: I kept telling my husband about your videos and I said in one you were smelling the leather and I just want a premium one so I can see what it smells like. I love the blue one. I really love the pink too but that blue is perfect. Awesome video! Thank you
For custom rebindings, I am in favor of fun colors and touches (if I ever buy a Spanish Bible, I would probably do something orchid related as a reference to my mother to give an example.) For the generally produced Bibles, I would stick with traditional colors and maybe do one or two fun colors to shake things up a bit.
My name is Robin and to be honest, I would love any of these bibles. I like the words within and the bright color would mean I could never misplace it! I would love any one of them!! 💚🩷🩵
I'm with you, Tim. Those are a bit loud for my taste. But my wife who likes Vera Bradley bags that in my opinion are visible from orbit appreciates those Bibles. Our daughter likes things in that shade of blue so when providentially someone in the Bible sell/trade group on Facebook put one up for sale later the same day we watched this video we decided to buy it as a Christmas surprise for our daughter.
I'm a fan of the color pink, but I typically prefer warmer or more pastel shades of pink. If I had to pick one of those three I might pick the light blue.
Love you R.L. Allan. But, all three of those pastel Easter eggs would go into the immediate rebind pile for me. (In that case, I guess I'd pick any of them if forced to... since I'd have Allan drop ship it straight to the bindery, if possible. LOL)
These are gorgeous colors, vibrant, and beautiful tones. They lift my spirit! Style comes and goes, and it's really easy to misinterpret these colors based on what one is conditioned to, relative that that very Fixed perception. I love these colors and I am conservative. I would get them all, keep the green, and give the others to family members!
I’m not a fan of the bright colors myself. My 13yr old daughter, who recently decided to give her life to Christ, and got baptized, said the pink one is her favorite. I don’t have a favorite, just not my thing.
I'm with you Tim. I guess I'm old and stodgy too! If I had to pick one, I'd probably go with green. It seems less bright to me. Definitely not the pink.....unless it was free 🙂
The one thing I love about the market is there are all kinds of options for all kinds of people. These are not for me at all. But I do think there is a segment that will like them. And, I hope the options continue to grow.
Hey Tim! Thanks for sharing the unboxing! These colors are definitely for a very niche market and not my preference. I love earthy and rustic well worn looking brown toned bibles. If I choose a Bible with more modern features in the aesthetics- it would be in the art gilding like the marbled gilded edges I have seen you feature once before. Thanks again for sharing your reviews! How’s your book coming along?
I just ADORE these Bibles! So beautiful! The bright colors make me happy! SorryTim, I don't agree with you on this one. I love these. I think that it's cool that they are doing this. When I saw the colors I had to have the green with purple ribbons. Then, I bought the pink for my granddaughter. They were a great price and look like they are fine with minimal imperfections. It's exciting!
Allan sent me an email a few weeks later, after I purchased two of these. Apparently, they sold more Bibles than they had, so I didn't get either one after all. At first, I was hoping that they would get more in stock. But I recently emailed them about it and they do not plan to release any more of these. I am disappointed.
9:42 "That's offensive. That is so ugly." 😂 Simultaneously, I was thinking, "Oh, wow! I absolutely *love* that color!" Edited to add: Not the biggest fan of the burgundy ribbon with the bright green cover, though -- would've preferred matching ribbons like the other two or a color combination of that shade of green, white, and lemon yellow. I wonder whether the flaw with the run of bright green Bibles was either their green ribbons not turning out well or just realizing how blegh the green-burgundy color combination looked once it was manufactured.
I'm with you on this. When I first saw them listed, I almost did a double check to make sure it wasn't April 1. Don't "get it" either, brother. I guess there's a color for everyone, but I can't imagine there's that many who would be beating Allan's door down for these. And then where does it end? How about scented Bibles? You know, when leather isn't quite enough. Come on Allan, go for it. Make the fried chicken and waffles scent. Liver and onions scent. Or, since it's Allan, Shepherd's Pie or Bangers and Mash scented ones. Holidays come around and Allan can make hot cocoa scented, sugar-cookie, pumpkin pie, etc. The possibilities are endless! CA-CHING!
I’m a middle aged man. I’d probably never buy one of these bibles but I think it’s cool they’re out there. I always find it frustrating when I can’t find the type of Bible I like over the years so I am imagine these will be perfect for someone.
I am an older female and I like these bibles. The adjective you keep looking for is “pretty”. I do think they should have silver edging rather than gold.
I think it a color preference for people. The main thing is if it’s attracts people to buy so that it gets them into more of the Word of God. That’s what’s important. But being new to premium Bibles and the overall circuitry of publishers I have found RL Allan to be that old English traditional with their presentation . I only have two bibles and a third coming in January . I really don’t want to get a library full of different bibles but I have become a bit partial to first editions . Two of the three I have are first editions . But I gave in ,I had to buy the Latest RL Allan long primer Sovereign Desk purple edition . It is a first edition . Only 100 made. I couldn’t resist
I LOVE the pink and the light blue! 🤩 It's so rare to have pastel colored bibles! They look so pretty!
Agreed
The light blue one is my favorite, then the pink. I can tell from the comments these colors appeal to women. It's nice to see other color options. I hope these show up in your Christmas giveaway!
Stay tuned!
I love the light blue! And it looks like they’re already sold out now 😢
I disagree i don’t think it just appeals to women, I think it appeals to people who like non traditional color for their bibles I like the light blue and the green my wife would love the pink.
I think anyone who loves color loves these Bibles. I sure do.🎉
I have a pink Bible on my Christmas wish list. I also really love the yellow one behind on the bookshelf. So pretty.
I think the yellow one is from Humble lamb!!
@@NJC935 I looked it up those look awesome. A some day maybe Bible.
Yes I love these!! I love the bright colors!! If I had a choice I would probably pick the pink but they are all fabulous!!
I do really like the idea of these! I was debating the light blue one but talked myself out of it. Now that the orange is the only option, pretty disappointed I didn’t end up ordering the blue!
Ordered the pink one for my wife. It will be here Monday. My boys 11 and 8 just watched this video and they were like "Oooh dad, that green and blue are cool."
I recently came across your videos! You're so joyous in sharing your love for the Word and the physical copies of the Word! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
@@timwildsmith Do you still have those colorful ESV 1 RL ALLAN Bibles? Would you give me one? Jay. August 2, 2024, USA
Hi Tim! Thanks for the great Bible review as always.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE all 3 of these Bibles colors! They’re gorgeous!
And if I had to choose one, I’d choose the bright green with the burgundy ribbons!

They are just colors, Tim.
God created all of the colors.
You don't have to like vibrant colors but many people do.
LOVE THE GREEN! It matches my planner systems and bible and prayer journals! 💚🙏🏽✝️
The green is my favorite as well! That particular shade of green is one of my favorite colors.

These are so pretty… don’t like the green but like the blue and pink… that pink is the favorite in my household. We would love to get the pink.
I will take any color. I can’t wait to see the presentation. They look wonderful. 😊🎉
The pink reminds of the Coral NIV from Zondervan. Which I LOVE! (Thank you for that giveaway Tim!) My favorite part is that I can spot my bible immediately on a table or bench.

There are definitely buyers for those amazing colors!! They look like Easter eggs!!! I love them!!!
Wow those are colorful Bibles!!! My fav would have to be the green one, I love green Bibles, normally darker green but this one is interesting. The pink and blue ones look like baby’s first Bible lol
I have the green ! Love it! Blue is on the way! Wanted the pink, but it was already gone
Yes, I like all three of these. O wouldn't choose them for myself, but I have three daughters who would each love one of the colors. There is definitely a market for some brighter colors.
This was great! I laughed with you regarding the green one😊 I'd choose the pink one
I think that green one is great. Send it my way Tim.
These are BEAUTIFUL Bibles. I would use them all. If I had to choose one. It would he be the blue. 😊Thanks for reviewing.
I've definitely got time for that green and purple!
My 17 year old Bible loving self would have loved that green one. Now, it’s a bit bright. Lol. The blue one is really cool though! My dad is a huge UNC fan, and would love that one!

I do think it's cool that they're trying to branch out to supply more people with their preferences. I'd probably like the green one most tho 🙌🏻
That was super fun and informative. I like both the green and blue.
I understand the feeling of a not so classic/classy look but I think these will be appealing to younger women or women in general. As for me I love the green and the blue. I do not have an Allan but some day I will.

I absolutely love the green one! I love green, and feel like it would be a good conversation starter with a non-believer if they saw me reading it
I guess we can call this new green ESV1 “The Hulk” due to its green/purple color set
I do love the pink❤ and would use it at home. Easier to find something brightly colored among all the Bible study things.😊
Thank you, Brother Tim 🌹🌹🌹
Bro all those bibles are so cool. I love the blue and the pink
Love the colors, but really love the blue!
Of the 3, the pink would be my choice. But holy cow those are bright!
I like the light blue. I live at the beach in NC and it’s such a soothing color.
These are outrageous! And I would love to have one! That green with wine coloured details is pretty out there!
I love the pink one🌺🙏🏻
I’m not into foofee color Bibles but I actually love the light blue, and it’s two column reference, oh wow, long ribbons, Awesome!
I love the new colors. If I had to choose it would be the blue or the green. But my wife would definitely want the pink.
I immediately adore that light blue! It's really pretty. Watching more, though, that bright green one you hate so much I really love and want! Why though? That contrast! It looks really cool!
My daughter would love the pink. I don't hate the colors, but prefer the darker colors. I love how they are experimenting with new bold colors though.
Those colors aren't my style, but if any of those colors encourage people to buy/open/read them, then I'm praying blessings over them. :)
You could pick them out in a crowd… and probably be a conversation starter😃
But the pink is fun!
As a North Carolina native and a Tarheel fan love the blue color!!
Wow!! I really think the bright blue is beautiful and when you opened the pink my jaw dropped in a good way lol. The green made me feel a bit nauseous lol.

It looks like they saw them in person and were like "Na, that ain't gonna work."
😂😂😂
Good morning everyone
Oh Tim how dare you call that green ugly. Lol I think it’s gorgeous. And they are not purple end sheets . They are burgundy end sheets and ribbons.
It is ugly lol
@@jdc1264 nooooo lol
That green and purple combo looks very Christmasee hehe

I'm a fan of the color pink, but I typically prefer warmer or more pastel shades of pink. If I had to pick one of those three I might pick the light blue.

That blue is beautiful! If they had used blue art-gilding under silver I’d buy it in a hot minute!!!!!!!!!
These are gorgeous colors, vibrant, and beautiful tones. They lift my spirit! Style comes and goes, and it's really easy to misinterpret these colors based on what one is conditioned to, relative that that very Fixed perception. I love these colors and I am conservative. I would get them all, keep the green, and give the others to family members!
There were pink bibles in the 80's. Goatskin was a fav but it really needs scars. Gives character.
Yeah I initially ordered the blue one because I thought it would be a completely different shade but I’m glad I canceled the order 😬
I’m not a fan of the bright colors myself. My 13yr old daughter, who recently decided to give her life to Christ, and got baptized, said the pink one is her favorite. I don’t have a favorite, just not my thing.
I love color! I think they are gorgeous!

The green one looks awesome!!!

Love the colors, especially the green because it is a true green. The ribbons are dark red, which is a complementary color to green.
Hey Tim! Thanks for sharing the unboxing! These colors are definitely for a very niche market and not my preference. I love earthy and rustic well worn looking brown toned bibles. If I choose a Bible with more modern features in the aesthetics- it would be in the art gilding like the marbled gilded edges I have seen you feature once before.
Thanks again for sharing your reviews! How’s your book coming along?

I mean to each their own...I personally prefer classic black or brown but it's what's on the inside that counts
I'm with you on this. When I first saw them listed, I almost did a double check to make sure it wasn't April 1. Don't "get it" either, brother. I guess there's a color for everyone, but I can't imagine there's that many who would be beating Allan's door down for these. And then where does it end? How about scented Bibles?

I like them, less likely to get lost somewhere because they are so bright. I would probably choose the blue.
I’m a middle aged man. I’d probably never buy one of these bibles but I think it’s cool they’re out there. I always find it frustrating when I can’t find the type of Bible I like over the years so I am imagine these will be perfect for someone.
I love the pink one but I also love yarn so I love bright colors but all of them are beautiful.
Making me chuckle every time you laugh. Enjoyed watching it. If I had to choose, I’d go for either pink or blue but not the green. Great video Tim!
I am an older female and I like these bibles. The adjective you keep looking for is “pretty”. I do think they should have silver edging rather than gold.
Great video, sir.
Glad you liked it!
They were a one and done colorway options. You will not see anymore Tim!
R.L. Allan is, by far, my favorite bindery (not including custom rebinding).. but I'm with you, Tim, these are weird 😭
I think it a color preference for people. The main thing is if it’s attracts people to buy so that it gets them into more of the Word of God. That’s what’s important. But being new to premium Bibles and the overall circuitry of publishers I have found RL Allan to be that old English traditional with their presentation . I only have two bibles and a third coming in January . I really don’t want to get a library full of different bibles but I have become a bit partial to first editions . Two of the three I have are first editions . But I gave in ,I had to buy the Latest RL Allan long primer Sovereign
Desk purple edition . It is a first edition . Only 100 made. I couldn’t resist
Oh wow that Pink is stunning. Living in a house full of only Males for the last 30 years, i need a pop of pink in my life.
LOVE the green, if it was in my translation it would be the ultimate Bible!
If I was going to get one of these, it would be the blue one. I'm in SC so I've grown up with the Carolina blue as a favorite color.
Love the green one! Im sad i missed out on it…
