The color is true to the pictures, I ordered the creambeige and the fabric is a rich linen texture.  The seat is firm but not hard like some reviews have stated.   My husband really likes the look and the feel of the fabric as well as the style of the chair.  He is very muscular and really likes how the chair supports his body and doesnt feel like he is in a flimsy chair nor that he is over powered by the chair.  I have purchased other chairs from Wayfair as well as a mirrored buffet table.  Everything I have ordered from this company has been perfect!  I will continue to shop Wayfair in the near future.
