The color of this chair (dark teal) is a true color. It matches other items of dark teal that I have in my office from other manufacturers. The color matching is a nice coincidence. The chair was very easy to put together and took very little time. HOWEVER, the chair is NOT leather. The seat of it, is, I guess, but the back is some kind of molded plastic. Buyers should note that the entire chair is NOT leather. Also, the back of the chair is not particularly comfortable and cannot be adjusted. Therefore, one must sit up straight in the chair (away from the back) or lean on the back and be at a rather uncomfortable angle. Overall, it's okay, but definitely not the best.
