Cheers .

That is a very good question as I have no idea I was given a part saddle my a kind soul .
I have taken a pic ( with flash ) and it does give a goodish likeness of the colour . I have tried to take it to show both sides of the feathers . I think it is sold as "autumn brown"

Is the best I can do at the moment , sorry .
