It's a pretty, neutral, blue-grey color. We've had it only a year no rips or tears - we haven't even had to flip the covers - still has the shape. Also we've had it professionally cleaned because we have a dog - not sure if people are allergic or not, but wanted to be considerate of new owners. We bought it new (with the custom color) from Living Spaces for $900 and are asking $600 for it. Comes with the grey pillows.
