To think this is navy and not black?

[Icloud54]

New sofas arrived on Sunday, originally ordered black but this is what arrived, are my eyes playing tricks on me?
Look very dark blue or navy to me

Dark grey or charcoal. Can't see the blue in it.

I'd describe that as charcoal grey

No it's blue/grey not black

Definietly grey. Is this going to be the new cream/navy dress.

Look grey to me which is probably a more forgiving colour for a sofa than black, anyway.

Definitely not blue.

Looks greyish blue to me

Also looks grey to me

No thats not black you can see that against the actual black fabric of the sofa that the cushions are not black.
Hard to tell with the lighting if it's a blue or as pp said a grey colour.

The point is I ordered black and this is what's arrived, will DFS do anything? I've emailed them

Looks like a dark charcoal to me too.

But then, my DW always says tennis balls are yellow while I think they're green

Did you look at the swatches in store? It looks dark grey to me, but that could be what they called 'black'. I don't see navy

Put black against it and post another pic.. the contrast always proves the point.

But it looks dark grey/blue from that photo

Not black, looks grey

It looks grey in most places, with a bit that looks blue along the front edge of a cushion and another bit that looks darker grey (charcoal) or maybe a soft black - on a base cushion.

Exactly this. I have a sofa from DFS in colour "silver" but it's just an off-white tone.

You can see black lining in the middle of the sofa.

Yes, we ordered in store by looking at the swatches.

Definitely charcoal grey, they're the same colour as mine. Not black

That is the least black black I have ever seen. Looks grey.

you can ask dfs to come out with the original swatch and place it on the cushion to compare.

I would say grey, but the real question is whether it matches the swatch in store. I don't suppose you can get a sample to check against (I know some places provide them).

I'd say grey too. Can't see navy but they're definitely not black!

Okay, so do they sell the same sofa in navy/charcoal? I'm pretty sure you can order swatches so you could order the black swatch and any similar colours to compare. Colours look different in different lighting (as you'll know) so maybe that's black, maybe it's not.

If it was black its a washed out black I'd expect from something old

It looks dark grey to me, but very hard to tell in a photo.

Have you checked the website to see what colours the sofa comes in? It may be that that's the darkest colour rather than you having the wrong one iykwim.
