Really like this ottoman. It is a perfect coordinate to chairs I purchased from Wayfair awhile back. It sits between these two chairs in a reading area in my semi-formal living room and it is a beautiful accent piece convenient to place a lab tray on, sit on, or rest legs/feet on. The storage is a plus as well. It's not too big nor too small. Color is taupe and as mentioned by others, it has a very subtle blue thread woven throughout. This is perfect for my setting, but it is not very noticeable and would not distract from it's appearance if you are looking for a solid color.
