I haven't used it much. The color is darker than in the model photos. It's like a purplish pink. It didn't suit me because my hair isn't light. I think it would suit someone with lighter hair. It has a distressed finish, so some parts have lighter colors, but it's not faded. This is a home-stored item, so if you are looking for something brand new or if you have any concerns, please refrain from purchasing.
