I got the Gray headboard but the swatch that is shows looks more gray but the bed is more of light blue in person. The color doesn't bother me though. It was easy to put together however my matress is rounded on the edges so up by the head I can see a gap between the headboard, bed, and slats which is just personally annoying but its clearly the mattress and not an issue with the bed I think. Very good quality and the velvet feels amazing.
