The quilt set is beautiful. Color is exactly as shown.(Taupe) Only downside, I read reviews about it not hanging as shown in description so I ordered a King size to be safe and it still doesn't even cover half my box-spring. Not a bad length but I ordered my mom a queen for a queen bed and now concerned it will fit more like a double. Maybe measure before you order to be safe. Order came quickly, 3 quilts packaged nicely in a box, was shocked but happy.
