I am never good with describing colors. The outer border is a small print with the background being similar to the solid light purple (?) in the main body of quilt. I am very fortunate to have as a member of my guild a lady who owned a quilt shop in the past. She still has many of the bolts of fabric she kept. I gave her some scraps and asked if she might have something that would match well with the light purple and she found the outer border. So I bought 2 yards from her. Perhaps 'mauve' is the word I want???The little inner border that is gold (?) is a mottled batik. Hope that helps. I am really not good at trying to match color combos which is why I like doing scrappy quilts best. :-)
