It looks navy in the light, but it's black. The following is an explanation from the official website: It completely covers 360° and you don't have to worry about being seen from behind. The long, generous fabric firmly guards the sides. It's safe even if the baby moves. You can breastfeed immediately just by putting it on. It's made of fabric that is well-ventilated and doesn't feel see-through, and is thick enough to not be see-through. It's also designed to be wrinkle-resistant even when folded up small. The soft, comfortable fabric can be used as a scarf around the neck when not breastfeeding.
