this is a great print and looked exactly as appeared online.  From a distance, it has a muted blue effect but plenty of the taupe shades (sort of gray and beige) that we all seem to like so much these days.  As all such prints, it looks better placed at a bit of a distance where the overall distressed effect is appreciated rather than standing out which can look a bit unnatural.  It has not landed in its permanent home yet ... we are redoing our bathroom in exactly these shades and with the white fixtures, it is going to be killer.  Well packaged and arrived in fine shape.
