I know our tartan has a backing so if it is installed "inside out" it would be a lighter color. The "backing helps to keep the weave from coming apart. I'm assuming that theirs is the same.
Should be easily solved by asking AA for a sample of their material. It will be obvious which side should be out. As far as the number of pleats something looks off. It looks like they did one fewer, but hard to really see from the pic. From an install point, the 1st pleat should have a little more "tuck" to it. |
