The colour matches the illustrated photo, it is a print with very rich dark colours and a lovely design.  The word opulant does come to mind. The underside is simply purple which is fine.  I'm left slightly undecided about the egyptian cotton thread quality, even after the first initial wash the cotton is still slightly stiff, it also feels a bit thin threadwise, but I'm hoping it will soften by the next wash. For the money its pretty good value. As far as the product quality, it is well made with popper fasteners as oppose to buttons which can make life a little easier.
