This throw is well made and cute! It reminds me a little of a Southwest decor style, due to the woven look and fringe. It is woven material with a twisted fringe edge, and it seems like it will hold up well, good quality. Regarding the colors, I ordered Navy, and the dark stripe is a very dark Navy, almost black, while the lighter area is a light sky blue. The main part of the throw is a natural looking off-white. It had a bit of a chemical smell out of the package, but that went away after just 1 wash. Its not the softest throw I have, probably because of the hand woven material, but I think it may soften up with more use. The style and colors are neutral enough that it could go with lots of decor styles. It looks great with my navy grey decor!
