That's what I expected! And thank you to the previous review that said the scarf was more than taupe beige, it allowed me to make up my mind because I wanted it darker; in fact it is not a "mole" but it is a color that says "stone" or "rock" between taupe and gray and it matches with lots of pieces wardrobe. I like flowers that appear to be stenciled is a very nice effect, modern and stylish. Modal fabric is very soft and very pleasant. I am very happy with this purchase. Um ... the other on black background tempts me too!
