You wouldn't think that there are 71 colors in this, but believe me, there are. They're all different shades of beige, brown, tan, gray and gold. I love the style of this piece; the way it almost mixes early twentieth century "technology" with today. I first I didn't like it, but the more I looked at it, the more interesting it became, and it should be just as interesting after it's stitched up. Thank you guys for having such a wonderful site and great designs.
