The brocade is dark brown with bronze designs. The leather is also brown with bronze colored whip stitching around the edges. The interior is green with a main compartment, large pocket, small pocket and another envelope style compartment. You can see on the interior that the stitching used to be a gold color with metallic thread running through it ( see last photo ).
