I love the look of this dark navy duvet. It is not as dark or grey as others reviews, however, it think it works well with my grey throw pillow. I think it makes for a masculine look for my guest bedroom. The stripes are white. Nap it you’re looking for something off-white, you might not like it. I didn’t care and paired it with off white shams and throw. I think it looks warm and inviting. The reason I gave  it 4 stars instead of 5 was the whitewhite stripes that weren’t mentioned in other reviews.
