I ordered these in the Oatmeal color and based the actual color from other reviews. The color is as everyone reviewing described it. It's really an unbleached linen color. I think it's gorgeous. The texture of the fabric really adds to the overall look of the chair. I think this color would play well with either Brown undertones or light greys. I did have a small issue with assembly. Luckily I ordered two chairs, because I had to use the spare parts. One chair came without the smaller spring size (all 4) that fit over the washers. With the spare parts I was able to rig spring washers with the incorrect sizes until I could get to a hardware store to get the correct sizes. I didn't call wayfair on this, as i think it would have been more hassle than just going and getting the parts myself.
