I've only ever gotten one fabric that didn't really look like the pic on the website. But it was a clearance fabric at a great price so I didn't complain at all. Plus it wasn't for anything specific, it was just for a backing. I've noticed when I use one of the two fabric searches and I find the same fabric in more than one shop the pics all look identical. I do think most websites try to have their pics be as close as possible to the actual fabric.
