I was looking to replace my plastic water bottle at work with a glass one and was more drawn to the color of this one than others I was considering. I ordered the green, which is a nice light mint green. I do wish the larger sizes came in the same colors as the 16oz size in order to avoid more trips to the water dispenser. I am also not sure I would use it in the gym because of the screw top (I prefer the tops that flip open easily and quickly) but this one works great for what I am using it for.
