Just right.  Basically, dark beige background and nice gray stripe.  Woven fabric (not printed).  I washed it in hot water to pre-shrink it so I can add lining.  It only shrank a little bit.  Soft, loosely woven fabric.  Well sewn.  Cheap, but suitable net-like fabric to go over the box spring.  Seems like it will go the distance.  I recommend this bed skirt!
