I bought these in the beige, which are very light - closer to ivory - just as it appears in the picture.  The material is much nicer/luxurious than I expected for this price.  I am very pleased.  The only reason for not 5 stars at this time is because they are brand new and am not sure how well they will hold up.  But very glad I made this purchase and I did search many websites/stores for this style - this by far was the best.
