The color is really nice and rich but it does not makeup for this sofa being so uncomfortable. It is nice to look, and if you don't plan on using it as one of your main pieces of furniture to sit on then this might work for you. The sofa is just really hard and stiff. I could not even stand to watch an entire movie on it. Unfortunately i can no longer return and have to keep it. If you spend a lot of time on your couch, do yourself a favor and look at any other piece.
