We purchased the light grey, which is actually white and dark grey woven pattern (without the thick woven texture) so it looks like a standard medium grey (not heather, but not charcoal). The couch is a lot more comfortable than I thought I would be out of the box. I've fallen asleep on this couch several times! The only thing that I find annoying is that there seems to be a bit too much space between the cushions so if you're sitting near one of the cushion divisions, then you slip through, and the cushions move/slip very easily. It's as if they needed to make each cushion one inch wider and with no grip mechanism. Otherwise, love this couch - very easy to assemble and looks great!
