I expected a lot from these Beautyrest sheets but they didn't fully live up to my expectations. They are a good gray color that match my duvet nicely. They are fairly comfortable sheets with the mix of materials they are made of. They are just a little bit less soft than I thought they would be. The biggest downside to these that my wife and I both didn't is these sheets can be very loud when moving around in bed, enough that it would cause us to wake each other up moving around.
