The color has a slight greenish hue to it, although it is mostly tan.  I measured my head and the hat fits really well (large).  Will be great for keeping the sun off my neck and shoulders.  Bought it mostly for treading water in the pool with a mosquito head net over top.  I have a hard time finding women's hats that fit b/c I'm 5'11" so this worked really well and wasn't too manly looking.  The rims are getting a bit "floppy" over time so it's not working as well with the bug net to keep the net off my face, but it's still a good hat.
