I was a little bit nervous punchasings this sofa, because I did not know if the color was going to be different in person. I ordered a velvet gray bed and when i got it, it was a greenishblue color. I sent it back. I thought this sofa was going to be  the same way.But when I opened the box up and saw this sofa, it took my breath away! The color is a little bit lighter than the picture.  Its a show stopper and a conversation piece!  It looks amazing in my living room.  I love it. Plus, its very comfortable also. I recommend purchasing this sofa, you will not regret it!
