Bought two of these for Christmas presents. The blue and the sage green. They came well packaged in vacuum sealed bags. I didn’t break the seals so I don’t know how soft they are but they look really nice. The blue is a nice soft blue. Pretty true to the picture. The green I agonized over because I wanted a soft spring green and it was the closest thing I found. It really matches the green in the picture where the blanket is unfolded. It’s not perfect but it’s a much softer green than a true grey/green sage. I think my daughter is going to like it.
