I purchased beige; however, I think it looks slightly light grey.  Still works in my room so I will keep it.  Not very soft or comfy.  If you are looking to sit on this every day I would choose a different one.  I have put mine in my home office for my kids to sit with me while I work.
Directions to assemble are horrible, so it will take longer than needed to assemble; however, you will be able to figure it out.
