Who knows what color espresso actually is?

I have the graco victoria crib and dresser for dd. It is in cherry finish.

DD and baby will share a room. I want a crib that doesn't have to match exactly, but I don't want it to look too bad.

So, who's good with color? If I order the graco lauren one from target, will it match? I have no idea what color espresso actually is.

    espresso is super dark brown, like a coffee bean.

    It won't match.  Espresso is a lot darker than cherry.

    espresso is a deep rich brown, not red like cherry!

    Espresso is a very dark cool tone brown, cherry is little bit lighter but has warm reddish undertones.

    Cherry is a dark brown, where espresso is a textured light black. Me and DH still have mismatched furniture everywhere and the cherry and espresso do not look nice. If you can go with the cherry or a lighter stain, its almost better in this situation to go with something that is more contrast in color. IMHO. The Espresso will look like it was trying to match.

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks ladies! It was a good deal for the crib, but I'd be much happier with something that would match better. Oh well.

    I would go look at it I ordered this crib this morning but my SIL also has one she bought previously that is the Espresso Color It does have alot of red undertones to it so I would say that yes it would be ok but I would go look just in case hopefully you can take advantage of the great deal. it is also not the traditional espresso color like most furniture most espresso is much darker
