The orange color is as pictured; it has a soft heather effect so the hue is more pumpkin, reddish and soft rather than bright orange. It's gorgeous in my opinion. The style of the chair is lovely and fits well into Midcentury Modern, retro and/or contemporary decor. The quality of the chair is OK but not great; some stitching lines are wobbly. The cushion is satisfactory for short-term sitting. We will use this chair in the guestroom at a desk and/or to provide an extra seat when it's pulled into another room for a party, and for that purpose it is as expected and will function fine. But this chair wouldn't offer enough support for long-term sitting; the cushion is somewhat weak. In other words, I'd feel comfortable using this chair to check email or sip a cocktail, but I wouldn't want to sit through an entire movie in it.
