It's frickin cute in yellow!  I was originally afraid it would be too pale from one of the pictures, but it's a nice standard color wheel yellow and as it is velvety, the color varies somewhat depending on the light.  It's a great accent chair if you already have another deeply cushioned chair/couch in your living room arrangement, as it in itself isn't the cushiest.  The tufting on the back is rather shallow, and the velvet is pretty low-pile (if velvet can be described that way), but that's pretty much on par with what you would expect for the price point.  Although the seat isn't super deep, the shape of the armchair invites you to cross your knees over one arm and recline sideways on a soft throw pillow.
