Color was exactly as pictured. I have washed the sheets several times and they come out quite nice with few wrinkles.  The only drawback so far was that one of the pillow cases had a small tear at the seam after coming out of the dryer.  I was able to mend it quickly.  I haven't noticed any further ripping at the seams after looking over the entire set so I'm hoping it was a one time thing.  Overall the feel of the set is very soft and a good buy for the price.  I would definitely buy this set again.
