Arc'teryx Alpha LT Jacket - Men's
Lichen

I just wanted to warn anyone out there that is about to buy the lichen. I realized that color doesn't matter much to most people, but when you're buying such an expensive jacket, i would let it carry a little bit of weight.
The lichen appears to be an almost lemon yellow on my screen, but when I saw it in a store in real life i realized why they call it lichen. In reality it's a really pale yellow almost green color and exactly the same shade of much of the lichen i've seen in the mountains. Just trying to prevent a mishap.

so is it more green than the pictures show? I am all for that.

The lichen color was far better in person than on any web site, to me. I think it's really hard to capture the depth of this color accurately on a computer screen but, like I said, I was not disappointed and actually liked it a whole lot more. My two cents...

From my own experience, the color on Arcteryx's website is not accurate. All of the jackets that i brought turns out having a darker/duller hue. If color is important to you, check one out at the store before buying.
