Ordered in color "Washed Taupe" which looked like a warm tan on all computer screens I checked on. When they arrived, they are definitely gray. Gray with cooler undertones. Luckily, this worked just fine in the living room, and while surprising the color discrepancy was no big deal. They are great chairs though - very nice looking and comfortable. Good quality for the price. Also - as is the nature with linen - they are not very durable to lots of children/pets/heavy use. You do have to be careful with that material.
