I agree with other comments regarding colour, the background colour is most definitely a grey/beige and i think anyone who thinks it is a white would be disappointed, however the heaviness to the fabric, the slight sheen and the beautiful print makes these curtains beautiful and definitely worth the cost.  I even looked if i could see others from the same brand.  You dont normally see a polyester panel with a sheen like satin and weight that makes the curtains look way more expensive than they are
