I purchased the light gray pillows and they are a very light gray with a short pile, boucle fabric, not corduroy. The picture on was an accurate depiction. They are nice looking and soft. The only problem is the inserts do not fill in the pillow over. The corners have no fill and flop over. I tried everything to get more filling into the corners, but it appears the inserts are little too small for the pillow cover. Not sure if I will keep them?
