The color in the picture looks as if it could be an antique white but once you get it out of the box it has a pale gray wash appearence with a bit of an antique white veining to mimic natural wood grain. It sorta reminds me of an updated version on old country furniture. This chest of drawers is perfect for one person with alot of clothes or two people with an average wardrobe. It is a good size piece if furniture but it is not too big for an average size (or even a smaller size) room.
