    Yes because on the merchandise label it said White Batik, and the texture of the Batik was a Cream white on white background.

    I made some Heart Batik blocks for a cause here in the group using Pink Batiks with the White Batik background, the blocks came out pretty with these Batik colors.

    A bright yellow and a dark pink, not pastels. LQSs here carry pastels, not my fave. On vacation I commented to a shop owner that she had the best selection of yellow I had ever seen. She said they thought about what colors they had hard time finding and stocked those colors.

    Different red batiks that don't tend to start looking like pink.

    I was told by a designer from Africa that a true red batik is the hardest to get.
