The actual fabric has a white background with areas where the colors have melded unto the white, especially with the red-pink color. The rainbow colored dots are not as bright and are a little softer toned in the actual fabric. The primary dot color is a mauve pink. The orange-yellow color is not really there and instead is a pink-coral color. There is very little green and more aqua-turquoise in place of the green and blue colors. Purple is minimal.
