Color is listed as black.  These are green.  Like an olive green.  The toe and heel and top band are black.  The rest of the uppers are green.  You can cover it with black shoe polish, but I have never spent $100 on boots and have to spend an hour fixing them.  Also arrived without the flat laces.  Came with the ribbon laces but the other set was missing.  I emailed Dr. Martens and they just said oh, we can send you some polish.  So it is a known problem and no one is fixing it.
