Green tights

I want a pair of green tights to finish off an outfit that I am putting together. What I need is a mossy/dark green, not at all pea or lime green - does anyone have any pointers? I've just received a pair that I ordered online and they are far to bright. (Looking at my computer screen, the colour I am after is the same as the "Share" icon on my google toolbar Wink.)

Have you tried tabio?

thanks but they don't have whatever I'm after - the greens are too jewel like, need something duller.

I think White Stuff has some in the sale but they have a pattern.

There's a WS near me so I could look, not keen on patterns though. Am now thinking I might be better off with a really drab olive grey rather than try to buy exact shade I want on internet and risk it being completely wrong.

Fogal (at Fenwicks, not sure where else) do a huge range of colours, including greens - but they are expensive.

Would a khaki / dull green be OK, that might be easier to find?

Tightsfashion says the Fogal packaging is dull! - I've always thought it was the best thing about them, retro in lovely shades...

this site has the most amazing array of tights in millions of colours.

Do you know I bought exactly what you are looking for from Primark for about £2 but this was last year sadly.

School outfitters? There is a girls' school near us with dull green tights as part of the uniform, opaque though.
