Just right!!  The color is a very beautiful shade of a chambray blue (a tiny hint of periwinkle in there makes it extra pretty) with the crisp white pattern.  Is a perfect contrast in a light grey bedroom- it’s subtle and very calming spa-like presence.  A cute white pillow is all it needs to pop this pattern and complete the look. I truly appreciate the generous 92x96 Queen - it actually covers the whole bed and is not skimpy!  Exceptional value in a Nautica cotton bed set.  Oh- did I forget to say that they delivered this in only one day!!
