This looks AMAZING!!! Was easy to put the legs on and scotchgard fabric protector didn't affect the color; with the scotchgard on it, you can literally take your hand and swipe off any lint. If you have OCD, this is the couch for you because you can easily clean it with one of those tape roller brushes...its kind of addicting LOL Its like a dark grey with hints of midnight blue/navy (depending on the light). Firm but comfortable...I prefer this as I didn't want it to lose shape quickly like most couches do. The velvet is surprisingly comfortable and not itchy.
