The sofa has a yellow tone (not an ivory color) and you can see the orange padding on several
pieces in natural light- see photos.  The back is also just a metal bar that the cushions rest on so it is extremely uncomfortable.  On a positive note, was easy to assemble.  I have been happy with all of my wayfair purchases but this sectional is poorly made.   I wish I could return without paying a huge shipping  fee.
