It’s really silver. I love it. It may have some blue, but that’s what I think. I love the velvet and I plan to put fire retardant on it and fabric protector. I smoke. A little paranoid. 
  The cushion and width make a big difference. This is comfortable. I bought a cheaper barrel chair and I still feel the frame in some ways! So this is medium. 
  People have mentioned getting a pillow. I have one, but I like it both ways. The swivel is key. I broke my neck, so have limited movement and this changed EVERYTHING. WONDERFUL BUY! ❤️thank you Wayfair!!
