i love this couch.  The color is a dark navy blue.  The only down side is the seat cushions seem to be a tad small, sometimes you can see the under-fabric on the couch...which is tan and not blue to match.  Also, this isn't specific to the couch, but just a general warning about velvet...it attracts and shows any lint that is picked up from people's clothes that sit on it, so you constantly have to wipe or vacuum the couch off.
