These sheets are a really beautiful shade of green. Not true green, not olive, and not sage. Brighter than sage and brighter than olive, the shade is closer to the tone of olive but brighter in color. When you look at the picture, note that our lighting changes the color a bit. The truest part of the photo, in terms of the actual color, is the hemmed edge at the bottom left. The center part of the pillowcase is not an accurate representation of the color; again, due to the lighting.

The sheets are a good thickness, and have a nice sheen on them, even after the first washing.
