I ordered the blue headboard. The fabric is a chenille with linen type weave. If you look at the picture and compare the color of the headboard with the pillows you will get a good idea of the color. I assembled the queen size myself and I'm more than 75 years old. 

Pros: Just as described. Well packaged  easy to assemble. Arrived on time. 
Cons: Would be even better if it were a few inches taller.
