The color (teal) is GORGEOUS! It's darker than pictured and a little more muted, but just as beautiful. The couch is shorter than indicated on the website, but not excessively so. My son is 6'3 and I'm 5'9 so it works nice for us. We moved into a much smaller space so I ordered this couch for our 11' x 12' living room. It goes great with the new tv console/fireplace.
