A lovely warm green, darker than an olive but still on that tone.  The comforter was vaccum packed for smart shipping, and in a plastic wrap for dry shipping to your door.  A half hour in the dryer, the comforter was fluffy and pressed looking.  I am very happy with the warmth of the comforter.  The shams howevever are very big for a king pillow and need to be folded under to look sleek.  I will need to stuff them with foam.
