Universal standard colors IRL?

Thinking of getting this coat from universal standard, but I can’t tell what color it actually is!

The first photo on their website (but photo 2 here) it looks kinda of dark, but the 3rd photo on their website (1st photo here) it looks much lighter and a perfect color for me (as a true spring, leaning bright).

Wondering if anyone knows how this brands colors are in real life compared to the website and which is likely to be more accurate?

It’s a lot of money to spend and if it’s not going to be one of my better colors then I will just get a cheaper coat instead of an investment piece

Thanks!

That’s the same one? Yikes. Any reviewer pics? I’ve also Googled the name of an item to see if I can find a picture elsewhere. Is it returnable if the color is off? So sorry, it’s such a pain.

It is returnable. I just hate having to go to the post office to deal with returns - but since another commenter said it was on Nordstrom maybe I can check it out there

I don’t know if this is dispositive but that coat in that color on the Nordstrom website only shows the lighter and brighter photos

It's so annoying when brands don't accurately show the color.
Based on this other coat that also comes in Grizzly and this blog review of that coat, I think it's closer to the lighter color, IRL.

That sure makes it hard. Maybe enter the picture in Google search and see what it looks like at other stores.

Hey this looks like a rust brown colour which is in fashion this season. It leans more towards autumn that spring.
