The color is white. There are minor scratches, fraying, deterioration of the Velcro and handle rubber, and stains due to use, but it is still in usable condition. Weighing approximately 150g (including the bag), it's light enough to carry around without any trouble. Despite its light weight, it achieves high strength by using a combination of carbon and aluminum for the frame. It has UV protection, so you can use it as a rain umbrella as well as a parasol.
