The color pictured for cobalt is nothing like the actual product.  It's a lot darker, which is accurate for the actual color of cobalt.  I should have known.  I also ordered a few other colors.  "Tourquoise" looked a bit darker than the photo, more teal.  Dark gray was also a lot darker than the picture.  When I first looked at it, I thought I mistakenly got sent a black tie.  Sky blue was pretty accurate.  Red was perfect.  I love that they come in gift boxes though.  I'll deal with the inaccurate photos of the colors.  As for the quality of the tie itself...not bad!  A good deal for the price.
