Great beach finish.  Looks like a white wash but underlying the chalk is a warmer (not gray-ish) tan tone wood.  Very nice.  Bought the headboard and dresser also.  The only minor thing that I took a star away for was the screw heads.  They are recessed, and they have a lot of paint/white wash in the holes.  They are really noticeable.   In the online listing, you cannot see these holes hardly at all; they look very small, flush, and unobtrusive.
