I've been on the look out for a decent Crosstrek.
I think I've might of found one.
The color they have is listed as Desert Khaki and I've never seen one in person. Their posted picture makes it look off white (or something???)
So, Google is my friend, as they say.
I Googled Desert Khaki images in large format and I'm getting all kinds of different shades of colors.
Some look green, tan, off white... I just can't figure it out.
An ideas?

The less sun the more desert tan it looks. It bright light it takes on a creamy tan. Good color for the Crosstrek

Here is a link. Look at the post from Mack Daddy (3rd one down) That is most representative of the color.

**EDIT**
Man, I really hate to edit my op this fast but about 20 minutes after I posted, I went into town and saw my first DK Crosstrek!
You guys are right. It depends on angle, sunlight, clouds, barometric air pressure, what day of the week it is, etc. in order to get the proper perspective on that color.
Pretty nice though and the good part? Wifey liked it!:eusa_clap:

Now for good stuff:
Who ever owned the car has it set up exactly like I would do my own.
Blacked out different grill with just the oval emblem, window vents, dark 6"(?) hard plastic Subaru wind deflector on the hood, roof cross beams. :thumbs_up:
No pictures as I didn't want to call attention to myself. :sFun_whistle:

I love my DK.

I certainly am happy with mine! Along with the black carbon trim it is flat Sick! I live in Astoria Oregon and it is overcast a lot here. Mine takes on a very mild forest green in the tan and with my Oregon Subaru Club sticker it pulls the green out even more.

I catch myself gawking at it like it was my first born child or something. Lol
With option package 23, eyesight, moonroof and push button start, I am in heaven.

So I wasn't on LSD when I said I thought I saw shades of green?
BTW, nice wheels & tires!

I’ve had my 16 Khaki since new. I wanted the color, and have never had any regrets. I’ve gotten tons of compliments, do notice the difference in different light, and did have a Weimaraner as a kid. Never thought of any correlation between the two, but now that it was mentioned......

Love my DK! Like many others here, I have received many compliments on the colour. If you are taking a picture, the colour will "change" depending upon the ambient light..... my good friends call it the "avocado" car!

If Desert Khaki had been available on the '18s I would own one. As it is, I went with orange for the visibility.

I have a Cool Grey Khaki XV, here in the UK. Depending on the ambient light, it appears as anything from light grey to sky blue. DK seems just as interesting.

I have a 2013 with desert khaki. I really love the color. I am not sure the name of the orange but another favorite.
