A dusty deep olive with a lilac duochrome tone that only really shows up when this color is foiled…along with the gilded finish. This looks vaguely like an eyeshadow version of Wet n Wild's Grey's Anatomy, but muted. Looking at the manufacturer's image and description you'd never get the impression that this color has the duochrome that it does. “Olive green” yes, “bronze shimmer”...I'm not seeing that so much, but there's no mention of the lilac tones whatsoever! I think that this shade looks really good with my blue eyes - both the khaki-olive and the lilac are excellent for my coloring.

Color payoff is decent, what ends up on your lids is almost exactly what you see in the pot. The finish is a slight pearl when applied dry, and more of a shimmer when applied wet. (Most of the IdealEyes shades I've purchased are this way.) The opacity is good, with no semisheer areas or “bald spots.” The color also reminds me of Bare Escentuals' Festive, but with far better color payoff.
