The color is hard to describe but it’s a heathered burnt orange/rust with black. I loved the rib details on the sides of the sweater, making it more than just a usual sweater. It’s a lightweight piece, making it perfect for transitional weather or as a layer under a denim jacket Note: I cut off the materials tag when I first wore it because it was scratchy. So I do not know the materials, but I can say from my own experience that I’ve put it in the washing machine and dryer for laundering.
