Thankfully I am ok with the color - but be warned there is a lot of caramel/cognac color in these pillows, including the backs of them in a full cognac color suede. They look more on the "cream" side online - but they are not at all in person. Despite this - the pillows are fantastic and I love the look of them. The quality from here I have always been happy with - so they lose only one star for color.
