It's an ash-based color, and although it's khaki, it doesn't have much of a greenish tone, more of a grayish one. I recommend it for people with black hair. It has a soft color payoff, so it's hard to go wrong with it. As an eyeshadow, it's a light shade, so it might be a good idea to use an eyeshadow base to enhance the color. It creates a stylish, natural smoky eye look. I love that it's low saturation, but doesn't make your face look dull. I think some people could even use it as nose shadow.
