The color is more of a lavender, but I did see the reviews prior and understood it may be different than the pic. The seat is VERY uncomfortable and flares up my sciatica horribly!  I also feel like I’m inhaling my knees for 8 hours on a work day. It may be a comfy seat for a smaller statured person. But I’m 5’7” and somewhat overweight. It’s definitely not the chair for me!
