These earrings are a great color - maybe a little darker than the photo. They seem to be a muted medium green. The color looks great on my ears. The 8mm size is possibly a little bigger than I would have liked - they stick out a little farther from my ears than I would like - but I think I would have found the 6 mm a little small. They are very comfortable and the back seems to fit securely. A good purchase for a small price.
