Edit**randomly makes super loud noises when rocking...not great if you are trying to get a baby to sleep!!!

After reading different views on the colour of the chair we were a bit nervous (from blues to purples to greens). I find that the colour is true to the picture, however it does change a bit depending on the light (picks up some hints of green shimmers in bright afternoon sunlight). The chair is very comfortable, cannot wait until baby is born and I have a chance to put some miles in it.
