Color is as pictured for both parts of the product. Fabric is slicker than expected, it slides off easily - thus the 3 rating. I bought one piece in the collection to get a closer look. I am concerned about the issue with the clips that everyone has commented about. This set would be in covered area so I think the cushions will hold up against potential for mold and fading. I ordered beige. I wish the company would let you pick the accompanying pillows, the pillows with the  beige set won't match my pool area colors.
