The color is exactly as expected and looks as great as I had hoped it would. I was nervous buying a sofa online, but it worked out well. The color is beautiful. Our cat loves to lay on the couch when nobody's around, and I found that pet hair removes easily from this fabric. 

About comfort.... This couch is very pretty to look at and not bad for sitting. I've even removed the back cushions and taken a nap on it and it was very comfortable (like a firm bed). Having said that,  I wouldn't use this in a movie room or space where you want sit back and put your feet up.
