The color is a slightly yellowish beige, like off-white. It's not as yellow as in photo 1, and a bit whiter and pinker than in photo 2. I apologize that I couldn't reproduce the color accurately. There are knots in the weave in places. Perhaps because it's silk-blended, it has a sheen and an elegant feel. Is it linen? It has a bit of stiffness. It may be fabric purchased from a craft store, but if you were to make clothes, suits, or dresses with it, you could create something high-class and elegant. There is some discoloration (photo 5). I apologize if I missed anything else.
