Not the color pictured
The color is a gray green khaki shade. There are no silver or blue under tone that would be in the dark mint or marine family that is clearly shown in the pictures for the sale of this pot on Amazon. This not something different lighting could effect. The picture for this item is a completely different color than the pot I recieved. It is still a Staub and has all the Staub quality one would expect which is why it is getting 4 stars. Staub creates heavy, heavy duty cookware that is a lifetime purchase. It resist chipping and scratching and produces well cooked delicious food. However, I remain disappointed that the picture of the pot does not match the pot I recieved. If the pot I recieved had a baby with the same pot in Staub's Turquoise color, then this baby pot would be the color pictured on Amazon for this listing. It did say that Japan's color might be different. However, it is exactly the same shade of color offered by Crate and Barrel for a 4 qt eucalyptus Staub pot. I was actually counting on the slight variation in color and hoping that the picture posted was a true representation. Sadly, it was not. For others, with similar expectations, be warned that picture does not match the actual pot in color in a side by side comparison. If color matters to you then I would not recommend this purchase. If quality matters to you then I highly recommend Staub. Read more
