The color is as pictured and the material is so soft. Its also an accurate size fit. I have a medium and am 5'4, so if you're looking for a sweater that is more baggy and goes past your hips I would size up. I love the embroidered stictching "mamacita," it's held pretty well against the wash. Although, I never put the sweater in the dryer, I always hang dry it to avoid shrinking. Love it.
