I am so happy with my new Sawyer coverlet! It is very well made, a very nice weight and the colors are beautiful. I would describe the darkest color in the spread as an inky blue.  I like that there is both white and a dark cream in the mix as well. Looks good with either white or cream lamp shades. . I have the King and it just covers the mattress on the sides.  Pillows are better then I expected. This set is a Great value!
