The couch is gorgeous. It's a light beige /gray. Linen is a good name or oatmeal might be better. It's super comfy and well shaped. It looks contemporary and seems sturdy and well built. Would just point out this has a casual appearance because the cushions and pillows are soft and really hold any particular shape you need for them, not bouncing back to that full appearance. You'll end up fluffing them a bit each day. Otherwise awesome couch and great price.
