The color is black with a hint of gray. It's not pure black. I think the color on the first official website photo is the closest. There are some wrinkles from storage, but it's a beautiful item, only tried on. This is a trendy shirt dress with drawstring sleeves. The lace-up detail on the yoke is a highlight. It can also be worn as a light jacket, and it's recommended to cinch the waist with a belt for a bloused look.
