The colors of this wallpaper are gorgeous. Even though it is called Blue/Taupe, it is much more of a soft green with hints of light blue, taupe and gray. You can trust the picture on the website rather than the name. I knew it was a faux grasscloth when ordering, but unfortunately for my eye, it isn't really a close enough replica to work. Where I am using it, it will be viewed up close and in a lot of natural light. So the lack of texture (there is a very slight texture, but nothing like grasscloth) and the shiny finish will just scream knockoff. If you are not trying to copy the look and feel of grasscloth and simply want a pretty wallpaper, this is great. If it won't be viewed up close or in bright light, it will probably work as well... and at a fraction of the cost of grasscloth.
