These stools are stunning, and even more beautiful in person. However I ordered the Navy but received the Grey. The velvet is soft to touch, and the same lovely grey as in the pictures without any off putting undertones. They are fabulous quality and well made with great proportions. Wayfair  has gone above and beyond my expectations to arrange delivery of the correct Navy stools which I expect to be just as beautiful but with the gold tone hardware that I purposely chose to work with the gold elements in my new transitional kitchen.
