Ok I LOVE Savage products they are all I have and I use them all the time for my photos and what I got was the same as always perfect, no vomiting - nothing. And I used it the same day I broke the cake and it came out perfect. HOWEVER, when I first took it out of the box I honestly thought I had been sent the wrong color! I had to double check to make sure it was the color I ordered which was that rich mocha colour. Now I realize it depends on the lighting you're using, but I was outside in natural light when I took it out of the box and it wasn't kidding, as was the fair skin tone. There was nothing "rich mocha" about it. I was concerned that the baby's skin color would blend into the background too much! I'm telling you, it was close, but not close enough to the problem. I like the background, but I'm very disappointed that it wasn't more "brown/brown". I also bought a bone colored background and used it on the same day and there is not much difference between the two backgrounds. I feel like I need to order the Savage color swatch book. I highly recommend doing this before buying any new backgrounds!
