I ordered the "Taupe" colour, which isn't quite the same as what's seen in the photos (not even close), but I knew that when I ordered bc other customers shared their pics to show the "taupe" colour they received.  So if you want taupe, look to the customer photos to see the actual colour, which is gorgeous.  The headboard is otherwise just as pictured and described ... thick, plush and elegant.  I ordered the twin size and it fit perfectly with my bed rails.  Nice product, appears to be good quality for the price.  Happy with purchase!
