Just received these today. Very happy. Good chair for the price. I would call the color oatmeal. They're not heavy chairs, if they were on our wood floor directly (and not on an area rug) I suspect they'd move easily when people sat down. I like that they have a high weight capacity (500lbs)- we have a couple men in the family who are larger and I needed chairs that could accommodate them. They're firm, but I feel like they're comfortable.
