This item is new and unused with the tag attached. I purchased it new at a KP store and stored it at home for one year. It's a calm color, a blue with a hint of purple. I bought several in different colors and have been using the other colors. It's a thin knit, so it stretches well and is easy to put on, making it very useful. As shown in the third photo, there's a light-colored uneven spot on the back that's visible when held up to the light. It's not very noticeable.
