The actual fabric looks like the first two photos and is not as dark or as saturated in color as the third photo shows. The fabric is light and almost pastel. The background contains denim turquoise blue, cold purples, warm purples, muted mauve pinks and light dark-dusty blue colors. The dots on top have a mix of mint green/blue, chartreuse green/yellow, turquoise, off white and sometimes a tan/yellow color.
