The color is denim blue. It's the type that can be tucked in the straps and used as a tote bag! The metal parts of the backpack are a bit dull, but the backpack itself looks clean with no noticeable stains. Instant purchase is welcome! *Please note that the color and appearance of scratches may differ depending on the product's color and the lighting during photography. As it is stored by a private individual, there may be minor scratches. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to this. Thank you for your understanding.
