the color is very true to the photos. However, when the boxes arrived, the chair was literally falling out of the box. There was no protective plastic sheeting on the chair, so it was covered in cardboard pieces and lint. It will take a very thorough vacuuming to try and get it all off the microfiber material. Also - the chair feels like it is made of cardboard inside. I am very worried this thing will break down quickly and if it does, I am not going to be happy at all. Last thing - I was worried that the legs to the chair has been "lost" since the package was so beaten apart, but I found them between the cushion and the body of the chair. Nothing indicated this is where I would find them.
