    They look similar to lovat green. Difficult to tell when monitors are not calibrated for colour accuracy. But BCAC definitely correct. Definitely green.

    With more of a guess than anything else, I too will go with lovat green.

    Next to the turf, and compared to the other gent's hose, they almost look like Lovat blue. Most likely green, but it could go either way.

    Gaelic Themes kilt hose have (or used to have) a lovat green and blue that are blue/green mixes. The green is more green obviously, and the blue more blue, but my point is that I find them both to be useful and attractive.
