My husband and I were really on the fence and anxious for this to arrive -- we wanted a navy bed and I was very worried about the blue color--he was more optimistic.  Low and behold, the color is great! It's not quite as deep as I would like, but not "teal" or denim like I feared.  Overall, great product for the price.  Be warned: if you're buying this to use for a mattress without a boxspring, it can be rather difficult to tuck the sheets in when making the bed.  We ended up buying a box spring anyway.
