It is the Tortoise shell color - actually it is a classy color, in my opinion. I have some hair and claw clips in Tortoise shell.
Personally, I cannot say that the Jilbere is all that better (I have both), but this one has longer bigger teeth which I think some may find handy, especially when you have lots of NG and hair with a tendency to break at the line of demarcation. This comb also looks like it will be good for those that are rinsing out Henna, Cassia and other treatments like these. I am going to give it that test on Sunday when I plan on doing a cassia treatment. The Jilbere does okay with helping with those rinses, so I will test to see how better this on is.
