I love the blue color, it is almost a sky blue with a touch of periwinkle. The scalloped drape is just too cute! LOVE ITThe tilt is awesome as well and very easy to use. The fabric holding up well considering the wind has picked it up and moved it over and dropped it a few times with no damage. The umbrella was packed nicely and arrived in 6 days as expected. It is really adding color to my patio that is not overwhelming. It did not come with an umbrella stand in case you were wondering.  I absolutely love this umbrella.
