We purchased the dark grey and the color is just right. It’s not too dark and not too light. We have been shopping locally for recliners. We’ve tried so many and did not find a comfortable one that met our needs. The adjustable head support was one of the things my husband wanted. Although it’s a manual headrest it works great. My husband sat in the chair and finally said he liked it and it’s soft right out of the box. The leather is very nice. Finally a real leather chair that’s got all the features, slim but not too small and affordable! My son is 6  foot and  weighs over 250. He finds the chair comfortable and roomy enough for him. I’m 5’3 and I find it’s comfortable as well. My husband wants a  second chair
