I tried to take a picture of the actual color. These sails look a bit yellow, but I love it. Our deck gets super hot with the stain being black. In full sun, these sails (I have 3) each do amazing. It changes the temperature to a comfortable seating area and the deck is transformed into a walkable space again in bare feet. Our dog, and plants love it too! Water pools a bit if you can’t install it on as much of an angle as suggested, but also drains through a little so it does not sag everywhere. We are very pleased with our purchase.
