This is the second chair of the same style I have purchased.  The color is a light turquoise.  It is firm not soft and cushy.  The controls work smoothly.  The material is linen like, but is not soft to the touch.  I use a throw to soften the feel.  It is quite light so a great purchase for our RV.  The reason for minus one star is the feel of the fabric and could use a little more cushy feel.
