Graham,
That is a nice Balmoral. I, too like the color. I find myself gravitating towards green, and have been thinking about buying a Balmoral. Perhaps we'll have the same hat one day. I also thought the maroon looked good too, but if I was to buy a maroon Balmoral I'd have to add a few matching items my woredrobe so the hat would not stand alone. In the mean time I will do with the sage colored, waxed cotton flat cap I bought at Barbour on monday. I like the sage color, and it feels indestructable, which is a good thing.

Anyway, nice choice. Enjoy.
