The color is black. I've used it for two years and liked it, so there's a feeling of use, but I washed it with Arau Baby and cleaned it before listing it. It's convenient because it has a cover for face-to-face carrying and a cover for the hip seat. The hip seat cover (last photo), the star pattern one, is unused. The various storage spaces were also helpful. There are no problems with the zippers, hooks, or Velcro. How about it for those looking for an affordable and multi-functional baby carrier?
