It appears cream colored on my screens, but its a lot darker khaki color in person. Its not quite big enough for me(I apparently have a big head and I know I have a lot of hair, so womens sizes are tricky), but its so cute that I would try to find a way to loosen it a little except for the color issue. I already had several that color, and I need a true light cream one, so Im returning it. The embroidery was really well done. That and the overall look is why Id give it four stars. It wouldve got 5 if it was lighter in color. The return process so far seems easy.
