Color just as shown in photo. It does seem to be a little bigger than 18" (more like 18.5-19") which does matter for the chair I had intended to use it with that is 17". Not sure if going to return? The quality is so good that I'd love to keep it. Firm so you can use as footrest or seating for kids.

Great pouf! I have it in my son’s nursery. It’s large and sturdy enough he can use it to stand. High quality!

The pouf is even nicer-looking in person! It’s just the right size and is very comfortable and sturdy!! Love it!!

Love it. Just what I was looking for.

Cute! Bought 2 to go under the console table in our dining area.
