I thought the pants were blue from the picture, but they are more turquoise-green. The color is bright and expressive. The fabric is soft enough for summer and at the same time has a very figure-hugging cut. The pants are not see-through. They are also the most comfortable harem pants I have found at Guru-Shop so far. I haven`t washed the pants yet and I`m afraid they will stain. Fast shipping! Overall, aside from the misleading picture, these are worth five stars.
