The color is accurate as shown. Even better, the manufacturer sent the swatch, plus two others I ordered at no charge. It's a teal/midnight blue, which goes well with navy accessories and a nearby teal stool. I read concerns about the back being too low.  I'm 5'8", and with a lumbar pillow and my feet propped, I'm extremely comfortable. The chair sits on 4" legs, which made it look like a toy, even in my tiny condo. Replacement 6" cherry chair legs and 8" for the ottoman elevated the chair to scale, made it more comfortable, and brought the ottoman up to seat level for a better recline. Love this little accent piece.  A great value.
