Fabrics are an end result of spun and weaved materials. It can include just about any materials.
 
Shopping for curtains often leads to confusion since some of the fabrics can be labeled based on material or materials. To top it off, some curtains can be labeled with fabrics based from the design.

Duller colors within a fabric may not look as spectacular as brighter ones, but they won't fade as quickly or as easy. If you don't mind changing out your curtains more often, the brighter colors may work great for your needs.
