The color is much more similar to the later group of photos than the first one with the pillows on  it - i.e. more dark blue than turquoise-y.
Vety easy assembly and, after being vacuum-packed,the cushions are plumping up nicely. This velvet/micro-suede works GREAT with pet hair - just slide it off with your hand. But I agree with the other reviewer whose couch arrived with bent legs. Mine had THREE bent out of 8 total. Tiresome. Other than that, very happy.
