This beautiful comforter is a perfect weight for Michigan winters.  The color is true as pictured with the background being a light khaki.  The only concern would be the size of the design; if the room is small, the design could be over-powering.  The quality is excellent.  Because I like a nice side drape, I ordered a queen size for a full bed.  I based this upon previos customer recommendations, and was glad I did.
