I used this dress as a bridesmaid dress. Her colors weren't specific. I agree that this was darker than the photos but it was still beautiful. Neckline is very low but I have a small chest so it didn't matter. I am only 5 4" and packed 3.5" heels for the wedding. They weren't high enough. The dress was still very long and steps were a little difficult. The dress has some loose strings at the bodice from dry cleaning, but the sash covered it.
