I purchased this scarf in "Champagne", the color is actually "Gold", metallic gold by anyone description, not champagne. It's quite sparkly, a bit more than I would like for wearing with a black and champagne cocktail dress to the wedding I am attending. I'm keeping it because it was a lightening sale (inexpensive) and I may want to use it either at the holidays or for a costume sometime. If you are considering this for any elegant occasion keep looking, it's rather tacky in my opinion.
