I have extra small hands as in I wear extra small lab gloves, the kind that teenagers would wear. No one else in my lab actually has hands as small as me.

Therefore, when I read the other reviews that said these gloves were loose, I was a little worried that these gloves would be too big on me. The reviewers even mentioned that they had long thin slender fingers. I figured if it was loose on them, it might be crazy loose on me. Well, these gloves were definitely not loose. They were super tight.

I think this may be designed for people with long thin fingers, which are elegant. My hands are by no means chubby and plump. They are just short and regular thickness.  I think if you have similar hands as mine or similar width-- at least-- you would find these gloves to be tight.

Other than that, the color looks just as pictured. I would say it is an off-white creamy color.

Okay, I am updating my reviewing. I just dropped a star.  These are REALLY tight.  I don't know if this is my imagination, but they seem to be shrinking not widening to my hands over time.  Perhaps, it is not that.  Perhaps it is just the fact that it is getting so darn cold around here.

When I put my hands into these, they seem to attract the cold.  I didn't understand how this was possible when other reviewers said this. I mean, I figured these are cloth.  They, at worst, should only be able to warm the hands a little--right?  Well, I was wrong.  These gloves really do attract coldness.  On close inspection, I see why.  There are little air holes in the gloves all throughout. I guess this was a design feature by the manufacturer to make it more stylish and also to allow ventilation. It would make sense to wear these gloves in warm weather then.

Nonetheless, it is still wintery now. The weather and the material of these gloves are really not suited for really cold weather. You may want to try cashmere gloves. I think next time I will buy cashmere for this purpose.  If you want to wear these gloves for spring and you have long slender fingers, then these may be great for you.  For those of us with shorter smaller hands, who just want some warmth in winter, these are probably not right.
