The pattern and color are exactly as depicted, I would describe the blue as light to medium, slightly muted, with a bit of a grey hue, the background is an off-white.  The fabric is high quality.  I have other room darkening drapes that block out every ounce of daylight but didn't want anything that heavy for the dining room--these are perfect, definitely reduce the sun's glare through the west facing windows but still feel light and airy.  Only reason I'm rating four instead of five stars is that the bottom hem is a little crooked--I'm hoping that after they hang for a little while or maybe after treating them with a steamer, the fabric might relax and the hem won't seem so uneven.
