I got the tufted headboard in Parchment and it's beautiful.  My room is decorated in a  Shabby Elegance style with all white bed sheets and pillows, and the headboard looks perfect in the room.  It's a beautiful cream color with a nice sheen to it.  Looks much more expensive than the price.  I was debating b/w the velvet finish and Shantung finish, and was so glad I didn't go with the velvet.  Highly recommended!
