As pictured but still unable to make out if the base color is black or dark green, but either way it works with overall color scheme, but if you're looking for a true black base this paper may not be for you...4 stars given as haven't had it up long enough to determine "wearability"..

Update: wallpaper is peeling around edges of wall - top color/design coming off talked to installer on options for repair and response was replace the paper as it's not made well didn't cut easily and what you see happening around the edges happened during install waisted a lot of paper recutting as the paper peeled apart during cutting..So disappointed as the paper looks really nice and had weight to it didn't expect this outcome. Rating changed to 3 stars.
