Wrong shade of red, still waiting on refund

The color doesn't match the image on this page. The red is much darker. I spent $55 returning the pot via Fedex with the returns form from this site to the Zwilling warehouse and now, nearly a month later, still waiting for my mom to be refunded. Buyer beware. It's looking like we'll need to go to the Better Business Bureau for our refund.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I’m very sorry to hear that you are not happy with your Staub Cast Iron 7-qt, round, Cocotte, in Cherry. I will email you directly. Thank you
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have been using a 4qt version for 3 years now, finally decided to make the jump and buy a 7qt for larger gatherings. Could not be happier! Was worried about even heat distribution with the larger bottom but have had no issues searing and braising so far
The cherry red is inaccurate in the product images

The cherry color of the website is gorgeous but inaccurate. In real life the color is a much much darker red and not at all what I wanted. There is a dark color gradient. Super disappointed since this is our only wedding present and due to it's ugly color, we are returning it. Additionally, the returning process is difficult with this company. Bummed!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’re a family of 8! Cooking for a family of 10 because we include my parents. Product is amazing and like no other. I wish I could afford larger ones but this’ll do most especially during this time. I wish I had pictures to upload especially with the holidays just passed but I’ll try next time.
This is a great pot to use when making soups, chilis and stews that call for browning your meat or chicken before proceeding with your recipe. The entire recipe can be accomplished with just using one piece of cookware. And it's such a beautiful servicing piece I take it right from the stove to the table. Check out the magnetized Staub wooden trivets and the cast iron trivets to make servicing much simpler.
I love this size and I love this shape especially for roasting chickens or baking a boule of sourdough bread. You have enough room to add your vegetables in with the chicken, which is a huge plus. For baking bread the cast iron is perfect because it conducts heat so well, and retains the heat. The spikes under the lid collect moisture and self-baste whatever dish you are baking or roasting in the oven, all while it is cooking, so almost like you have an extra hand! You get to take all the credit though! Bread does come out perfect when baked in a staub and your chickens will come out juicy and golden brown.
