This "nanohana" color has interesting properties. It shifts from a mustard tone under warm light to a green hue under cool light. As Jonella says, "it is a color that grows on you." It has echoes of military khaki and desert sand, but also has a "green" overtone that relates it to vegetation. These sorts of nuanced colors were very popular in the 1920's.
There have been a number of pens with colors of this kind, including the highly collectible OMAS "Colonial Brown." The Nakaya nib, proudly imprinted Nakata, the family name of the manufacturer, is made of solid 14K gold.
Please note that Nakaya has changed the hue of this finish - the new version can be seen in the base color of the Portable Cigar Zaryu 2 pen. As with all Nakaya colors, the exact hue of each hand-finished pen may vary slightly - no two will ever be exactly the same.
