LOVE the color of these! I have ordered other "Navy" color chairs in the past and had to return b/c they were more aqua colored... these are a true navy (almost a hint of black thread as well). In the picture you can see a sideboard (which was so awfully ugly) and I painted it Hale Navy by Benjamin Moore and the colors match great! These chairs are a great value for the price, they don't look cheap at all... albeit probably not something that I will have for 10 yrs. :)
