The colors are just as I had hoped. You have a soft suede-like finish on top and silky smooth finish on the underside - which can be reversible.  The king shams fit perfect! Very lightweight and warm.  I hope to love this for a long time.  For the price - this is a great buy, just don't expect $300.00 quality when you are paying $79.99.  I really am very pleased!!! Would recommend without a doubt.
