The color palette consists of soft blues, whites, and a light beige panel near the top. The fabric is positioned vertically, with blue embroidery at the bottom right and extending up the left side. A smaller beige-embroidered section is near the top center, and there is a handwritten label or tag sewn near the center-right section of the fabric.
