I specifically ordered these because they looked very pale pink in the photos. Trying to coordinate with the very pale pink in my daughters nursery they appeared perfect. Well, they are quite a few shades darker and more vibrant than they appear in the photos, not terrible but not what I was anticipating. Almost considered returning them, but with the other choices out there, I didn't think I would find anything more muted, so I just kept them thinking I could make them work. Just beware, the photo isn't accurate.
