This set is beautiful! The color is definitely a light grey and not the beige of the image shown when I ordered. That does not take anything away from it though. However this is a LOT of grey so you may want to pick an accent color to break it up a bit. On mornings when I'm in a hurry and don't have time to properly make my bed I can just straighten the comforter and it still looks beautiful due to the stitching. I've liked all of my purchases from wayfair but this one is by far my absolute favorite! In addition it arrived on time too.
